AXSUN Technologies Inc. Announces
Commercial Agreement to Manufacture Ultra-high performance 10Gbps
Electro Absorption Modulated Laser (EML)
Billerica, MA, August 5, 2002 — AXSUN Technologies Inc., a manufacturer
of agile photonic subsystems, today announced a commercial Agreement
with CyOptics Inc, to manufacture and qualify to Telcordia™ GR468,
an Ultra-high performance 10Gbps Electro-absorption Modulated Laser
(CyOptics Hybrid EML) module based on discrete wavelength-targeted
high-power DFB laser chip and the CyOptics industry-leading electro-absorption
modulator (EAM) chip.
The AXSUN™ universal photonic packaging platform's world-class
performance in optical alignment enables the combination of multiple
active and passive optical devices in the same module. The packaging
platform is based on micro-alignment structures and micro-optics
that are specifically designed to be used with the AXSUN Micro
Robot (AMR). Alignment precision in the sub-micron range is accomplished
quickly by the AMR without the need for re-flowing of solder.
The CyOptics Hybrid EML can transmit over 80-120km of standard
SMF28 fiber without dispersion compensation or amplification with
under 2dB of dispersion penalty, and it is size and pin compatible
with the standard monolithic EML.
"The performance and manufacturing cost achieved in producing
these modules validates the AXSUN integration platform in the optical
communications marketplace," stated Jack Kay, President and
CEO of AXSUN Technologies Inc. "The AXSUN universal packaging
platform gives our customers a competitive advantage by accelerating
their time to market with Telcordia™ qualified, higher performance,
low cost devices, while simultaneously lowering their capital investment
and program risk."
