MicroMux is a coarse-WDM mux/demux module for OEMs. It provides data-rate and protocol-independent multiplexing or demultiplexing of four channels. It measures 9 × 9.2 × 6 mm and comes in a clip-pin mounting package. The device is designed for metro-core, metro-access, and enterprise CWDM systems; multiwavelength, 300-pin transponders; and GBIC and Xenpak transceivers. The module is ITU G.694.2-compliant.Gigabit Optics, Sunnyvale, CAwww.gigabitoptics.com

The AT-10B receiver, based on an avalanche photodiode, operates at a bandwidth of 9 GHz with -28-dBm sensitivity. It is designed for 0C-192 SONET/SHD and 10 Gigabit Ethernet DWDM and metro markets. It accommodates NRZ transmission with forward-error correction. The AT-12A receiver is designed for the long-haul, ultralong-haul, and submarine markets, and is suitable for use in RZ transmission systems.Picometrix, Ann Arbor, MIwww.picometrix.com

The M-661 translation stage has an integrated linear piezo motor drive that provides a velocity of 200 mm/s and acceleration of 150 m/s2. The stage has a 20-mm travel range and 0.1-µm resolution. It comes in a package measuring 25 × 20 × 8 mm, and an optional electronics board is available. A modified version is available for XY configurations. The stage is designed for high-speed micropositioning, scanning, micromanipulation, micromachining, and use in semiconductor test equipment.Polytec PI, Auburn, MAwww.polytecpi.com

A 1 × N splitter based on planar waveguide technology has one input port and multiple output ports for dividing optical signals. It operates from 1260 to 1600 nm.
