Emcore exhibits external cavity laser platform at OFC 2011
The firm demonstrated its tunable XFP technology (TXFP) based on its patented ClearLight technology at the conference.
Emcore Corporation, a provider of compound semiconductor-based components, subsystems, and systems for the fibre optics and solar power markets, demonstrated its new tunable XFP product at the OFC / NFOEC conference in Los Angeles, California between March 8-10, 2011.
The firm demonstrated its tunable XFP technology (TXFP) based on its patented ClearLight external cavity laser platform. Emcore is currently shipping pilot production quantities of the TXFP, and is ramping domestic and off-shore production.
"Emcore's TXFP was designed with the goal of enabling our customers to dramatically reduce size, power consumption, and operating expenses thus replacing legacy 300-pin transponders," stated Hong Q. Hou, Emcore's CEO. "Our TXFP offers industry-leading performance with both negative and zero chirp options." The TXFP incorporates the fourth generation of Emcore's external cavity laser technology, deployed in worldwide fibre networks since 2004.
