Vertilas - New Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL): Low ability 10 Gbps individual approach VCSEL for 1310 nm reduces bore ability amusement by up to 30%

A advance has been accomplished by VERTILAS GmbH demonstrating a 1310 nm VCSEL TOSA in the MergeOptics’ SFP+ 10 Gbps Small Form Factor Module

Berlin, Garching, 25. Sept 2006 – Small anatomy agency modules for abstracts communications appeal top achievement and actual low ability amusement at an adorable amount point. This requires a actual able bore architecture as able-bodied as top data-rate and actual low-power basic solutions.

VERTILAS GmbH, a arch architect of low ability long-wavelength VCSEL components, is now sampling a new LC bowl for 1310 nm that achieves abstracts ante of up to 10 Gbps. This Transmit Optical Sub-Assembly (TOSA) is based on the company’s different Buried Tunnel Junction (BTJ) VCSEL technology and appearance an chip ecology diode. The archetypal TOSA ability amusement is as low as 30 mW.
VERTILAS’ Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology has been accurate in several applications, including a array of ambitious spectroscopy applications. For communications applications, abounding accomplishment and ramp-up is planned for the additional bisected of 2007.

MergeOptics GmbH has auspiciously evaluated the 10 Gbps achievement of a baby anatomy agency bore utilizing VERTILAS’ 1310 nm VCSEL LC receptacle. This laser basic has enabled MergeOptics to advance next bearing SFP+ modules that accommodate 10 Gbps achievement and affection ability amusement of beneath than 1 W.

Based on this acknowledged affirmation both companies will extend their accord to authorize and barrage next bearing modules based on VERTILAS’ low ability VCSEL technology.

Dag Neumeuer, President and CEO of MergeOptics declared today, “A low ability low amount 1310 nm ablaze antecedent is a key basic for the bartering success of our SFP+ artefact line. We accept activated the VERTILAS VCSEL TOSA’s in our class and are afflicted with the performance.“

Christian Neumeyr, CEO of VERTILAS, comments: “Our aggregation has fabricated a above footfall in developing a 1310 nm VCSEL TOSA for baby anatomy agency optical modules. In the endure few years we accept launched a ambit of VCSEL articles from 1550 nm to 2050 nm, mostly for high-performance spectroscopy applications. It was now the appropriate time to crop our VCSEL technology one footfall added and advance a 1310 nm VCSEL for communications applications. By designing a complete TOSA with LC bowl and chip ecology diode, we action a band-aid that allows our barter to architecture modules with 10 Gbps achievement and decidedly abate ability dissipation.”

ECOC – the key barter appearance for optical communications
Both companies will be announcement at ECOC and authenticate the latest after-effects of their artefact developments.
