MEMSCAP Is Shipping Samples Of Low-port Count Photonic Switches And Variable

MEMSCAP is shipping samples of low-port count photonic switches and variable optical attenuators (VOAs), aimed at the metro and access levels of the telecoms network. The switch samples are in evaluation at major customer sites. They are the first products out of MEMSCAP's fully automated, high-volume MEMS fabrication facility in Bernin, France. Insertion losses range from 0.5dB to 1.0dB, with a switching speed of 1msec. The foundry is equipped to handle both 150mm and 200mm wafers.
European companies Teem Photonics and NKT Integration have made a
multi-source agreement (MSA) to develop a 4-port fully-integrated gain block
consisting of four separately controlled gain blocks in a 110x95x12mm
module.
The agreement sets common product standards for form, fit and function in
mechanical, optical and electrical interface parameters for integration into
next generation optical networks.
The array will integrate optical gain block functionality of passive and
active sub-components based on the erbium-doped waveguide amplifier (EDWA)
planar light circuit (PLC) technology that Teem and NKT Integration use.
Availability of product samples is targeted for Q1 2003.

Boeing's Spectrolab subsidiary has 2.5- and 10Gbit/sec InAlAs/InGaAs
avalanche photodiodes (APDs) available. Spectrolab is a full-service foundry
for optical components and modules of fibre-optic telecom systems.
"Our APDs have a unique design that incorporates an avalanche layer made of
indium aluminum arsenide (InAlAs), rather than indium phosphide (InP)
material," reports Dr Nasser Karam, Spectrolab's vice president for
optoelectronic products.
The APDs are designed to offer low-noise and high sensitivity. Spectrolab
uses MOVPE (metal organic vapour phase epitaxy) to grow device structures
for solar cells and optoelectronic components.
