2 December 2002 -- LA Techniques, Claygate, UK, a supplier of low cost pattern generators for the fibre-optic telecoms component industry - is to expand its activities throughout the US and Canada.
The company has reached an agreement with Optimark Fiber Optics of Boston, Mass, which will involve the US partner in sales, distribution and acting as LA Techniques' representatives throughout North America.
"There has been a demand for our products in North America since we were formed. In fact, our first export order was from the US," said LA Techniques' Sales and Marketing Director Chris Lester.
Among the products Optimark will be offering from LA Techniques will be the LA 19-02-01 12Gbit/s and the LA 19-01-01 2.7Gbit/s pulse pattern generators. They will also be selling data driver amplifiers, other high speed logic circuits and bias tees.
The LA 19-02-01 is a pseudo random pulse pattern generator capable of operation of up to 12Gbit/s. It can accommodate two internal clock generators and also accepts an external clock input. It provides a fast pulse output up to 4Vpp suitable for applications such as testing high bit rate communication components, fast pulse amplifiers and high speed logic circuit development.
The LA 19-01-01 operates up to 2.7 Gb/s and provides a fast rise time and low pulse distortion. It can also accommodate two internal clock generators and an external clock output and provides a clean pulse output suitable for applications such as optical communications, fast pulse amplifiers and high speed logic circuit development.
LA Techniques will be exhibiting for the first time at OFC in March 2003, where it will be supported by Optimark.
