SAN JOSE, Calif., July 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NeoPhotonics
Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer
of advanced hybrid photonic integrated circuit based modules and
subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications
networks, today announced that it will exhibit its extensive suite
of products for the highest speed optical networks at the Fiber
Optic Expo (FOE) at Aomi Hall in Tokyo,
Japan, on Stand 12-43 in Hall B, July
17th to July
19th.
NeoPhotonics has been at the forefront of introducing new
technologies to increase the speed and capacity of optical networks
and of implementing those technologies in high volume manufacturing
such that benefits can be realized broadly in the market.
Illustrating this, NeoPhotonics announced that it has achieved
significant cumulative production milestones for critical
components used in the highest speed and highest capacity optical
communications systems.
NeoPhotonics was among the first companies to design and produce
in volume a Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) device called an
Arrayed Waveguide Grading (AWG), which enabled multiple separate
optical signals to be transmitted over a single fiber, increasing
the capacity of that fiber by a factor of 40 or more. To date
NeoPhotonics has shipped a cumulative total of a half million AWGs,
providing more than 20 million wavelength channels to optical
systems worldwide.
Similarly, NeoPhotonics pioneered the development and volume
manufacturing of two key PIC components that are used in Coherent
Transmission: Ultra-narrow Linewidth Tunable Lasers and Integrated
Coherent Receivers (ICRs). In a coherent system, these components
enable the bandwidth of each individual wavelength channel to
increase by a factor of 10 to 60 or more versus direct detection
approaches. To date NeoPhotonics has now reached a cumulative
shipment total of more than one million tunable lasers and more
than a half million ICRs, which have been deployed in coherent
networks globally.
Taken together, these three products have made a significant
contribution to increasing the total information carrying capacity
of a single optical fiber from 10 Gbps (billion bits per second) to
more than 30 Tbps (trillion bits per second), or more than a factor
of 3000 times.
"We are gratified to reach these significant shipment totals on
these key products because they represent the tangible contribution
we have made to the global communications infrastructure,"
said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics. "We are
constantly developing newer products and technologies for higher
speeds, higher capacity and higher levels of photonic
integration. Our focus on ramping production of new products
quickly to volume continues to drive our company and to achieve the
results sought by the customers we serve," concluded Mr. Jenks.
