Kamelian wins order and partners with u2t
Kamelian is celebrating a significant order for its semiconductor optical amplifier products
Kamelian of Oxford, UK, has begun shipping an order worth $1 million for one of it semiconductor amplifier (SOA) products. The order, form an undisclosed customer, is for Kamelian’s new 1310 nm optical amplifier product which was recently added to its 1550 nm optical power booster and optical pre-amplifier products. Importantly, such amplifiers fulfill a need for amplification that can not be met by EDFAs at 1310 nm.
Kamelian has also collaborated with u2t Photonics of Berlin, Germany, on the production of a 40 Gbit/s receiver. The two companies successfully combined u2t’s ultrafast photodiode with Kamelian’s high gain, low noise SOA to demonstrate a 40 Gbit/s receiver with better than –17 dBm sensitivity at a bit error rate, BER, of 10-9. The high sensitivity of the receiver removes the need in some applications for an integrated transimpedance amplifier. The receiver has a wide dynamic range of 15 dB and is robust enough to withstand high input signal powers of over 10 mW.
