[March 27, 2013] NeoPhotonics introduces narrow-linewidth micro-ITLA technology Tweet Mar 27, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- NeoPhotonics Corporation, a designer and manufacturer of photonic integrated circuit based modules and subsystems, has unveiled a small form factor, narrow-linewidth, micro-Integrated Tunable Laser Assembly, or micro-ITLA, technology. NeoPhotonics builds upon its technology in creating this new generation of laser, which is designed to reduce the footprint by more than a factor of three and reduce power consumption compared to current generation ITLAs. This micro-ITLA utilizes NeoPhotonics PIC technology, which allows the integration of many active and passive photonic functions within single chip elements. The NeoPhotonics micro-ITLA is designed to be compliant to the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) implementation agreement. "NeoPhotonics is one the few companies that can design and manufacture precision tunable lasers with linewidth suitably narrow for coherent network applications. In fact, we became the industry's largest supplier of narrow-linewidth tunable lasers in 2012," said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics. "In the micro-ITLA we utilize our PIC technology to minimize the device size and power consumption, while providing our customers with the device performance and production capabilities they need to capture the growth that is apparent in the 100G market space." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
