Opto Speed and Infomax to cooperate on optical sub-assemblies

Dec. 6, 2002
6 December 2002 -- Switzerland's Opto Speed and Taiwan's Infomax Optical Technology are to collaborate on optoelectronic products packaged in advanced TO cans and receiver and transmitter optical sub-assemblies.

6 December 2002 -- Switzerland's Opto Speed and Taiwan's Infomax Optical Technology have signed a cooperation agreement to collaborate in engineering, manufacturing and sales of their optoelectronic product portfolios.

Opto Speed was established in 1995 and has more than 20 years of experience in indium phosphide (InP) technology and product design due to a transfer from ETH Zurich and Deutsche Telekom Optoelectronic Group. Opto Speed offers high-speed products such as lasers, photodetectors, optical-front-ends, semiconductor optical amplifiers and superluminescent diodes to support 2.5, 10 and 40Gbit/s applications.

Infomax was founded in 2000 and is a designer and manufacturer of laser diode and photodiode chips, TO can devices and optical sub-assembly modules for transceivers.

Opto Speed will now be able to provide its Fabry-Perrot and DFB lasers as well as PIN photodetectors packaged in advanced TO cans and receiver and transmitter optical sub-assemblies. These optical sub-assemblies can be provided to transceiver and transponder manufacturers for the full range of transmission speeds from 155Mbit/s to 2.5Gbit/s and 10Gbit/s.

For Infomax, the agreement allows it to expand its product portfolio. "We believe this will be a mutually successful, long-term relationship," said president Tien-Tsorng Shih.

"The partnership with Infomax helps Opto Speed significantly broaden its capabilities to serve transceiver and transponder manufacturers with leading-edge ROSAs and TOSAs", said Opto Speed's marketing director Dr Christoph Holtmann. "The strong packaging expertise and low-cost packaging capability of Infomax together with our strong technology platform, talented engineering team and leading product offerings will result in high-value-added receiver and transmitter optical subassemblies at very competitive prices for our customers."
