2010, March, 22: u²t Photonics Samples 40G DQPSK Dual BalancedBerlin, Germany, March 20th, 2010-u²t Photonics AG, the provider of innovative, leading edge optoelectronic components such as highly functional integrated receivers and modulators, today announced the availability of its integrated DQPSK receiver for long-haul 43 Gbit/s communication systems. u²t is now sampling this new product for system level testing to both, sub-system and equipment manufacturers.The QPRV1010A receiver consists of two balanced receivers implemented in a single, ultra compact package reducing the required board space by 70%. The use of bend-insensitive ribbon fiber, such as the Draka Bendbright Elite Fiber Ribbon, allows for tight routing and precise skew control of the connection between the DQPSK-demodulator and the receiver. A co-planar electrical interface avoids the need for rf-cables which significantly reduces cost and matches the newly available SERDES IC´s supporting a surface-mount interface. The use of a TIA with a linear output signal also enables transponder and system designers to further improve the overall system performance by using EDC (Electronic Dispersion Compensation) technologies. The receiver provides two sensitive peak level detectors for convenient feedback control of the demodulator. "This new product enhances our portfolio of highly integrated and very compact solutions", said Jens Fiedler, VP Sales and Marketing at u²t, "We are convinced that components such as our QPRV1010A further reduce the overall cost for 40 Gbit/s systems and help our customers to accomplish a very efficient system design." u²t announced the availability of prototypes of its new product platform starting in March this year. The QPRV series is scheduled to be ready for volume production in the second half of 2010. The product will be displayed at the u²t booth #1312 at OFC in San Diego, California, March 22nd to 25th. u2t Photonics AG, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Berlin/Germany, is the leading supplier of ultra-high speed optical components up to 100 GHz. Based on its unique and mature technology u²t develops, manufactures and markets highly competitive products for high speed communication applications and detectors with superior performance for test and measurement equipment vendors. A platform approach based on building blocks enables u²t to offer a comprehensive and fully TELCORDIA qualified portfolio supporting the requirements from transponder vendors, line card and system designers as well as test equipment vendors. u²t is ISO9001 certified and offers high quality of service. u²t contact: Jens Fiedler, u2t Photonics AG, Tel. +49 (30) 726 113 530, fiedler@u2t.de |
