Cost reduction and return on investment are clearly the watchwords in the current depressed optical networking market. In this market, it is critical to focus on methods of achieving...
Management planning for future long-haul fiberoptic networks requires assessment of which technologies to deploy and when it makes good business sense to deploy them. The key ...
High-speed fiberoptic links are still largely based on discrete, expensive, power-hungry components and subsystems. Meaningful improvements in cost, power dissipation, and size...
Connectors with 8, 12, 24, or more fibers in a single ferrule, termed multifiber connectors, have distinct advantages for use in optical communications for small-form-factor (...
We can all recall the halcyon days of glitter and glitz during OFC 2000. The euphoria of that era was evident in the first issue of WDM Solutions, published in September 1999 ...
By now, telecom transport market forecasts and carrier purchase plans unequivocally document that rumors of the impending death of synchronous optical network/synchronous digital...
MetroChannel 16-channel CWDM passive multiplexer and demultiplexer modules are designed for metro and access networks. They have insertion loss of 2.25 dB and are designed to ...
Fiber Raman amplifiers in WDM systems have recently received much more attention because of their greatly extended bandwidth and distributed amplification with the installed fiber...
In optical amplification, most next-generation erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) no longer boast higher bit rates and more wavelengths. Rather, new EDFAs are cheaper, smaller...
