17 December 2002 -- Valdor Fiber Optics Inc., Hayward, California has launched what it describes as a "breakthrough" in multi-channel interconnection. Its HeptoPort uses a seven fibre port based on the company's two dimensional (2D) self-alignment Impact Mount technology.

The HeptoPort range will initially be used in DWDM add-drop multiplexers and Isolators. Impact Mount technology enables a single optical element to be shared by up to three add-drop multiplexers. This allows a single Faraday-Rotator assembly to be shared by seven self-aligned fibres, producing seven independent isolators in a single small form factor package.

Valdor's multi-channel technology can expand the number of fibres from seven to nineteen or thirty-seven fibres. This multi-channel application will dramatically reduce costs, free up module space and open up new architectural possibilities.

A larger application of this multi-channel technology is under consideration for supplemental product lines. Future applications include multifibre connectors, hologram waveguides, and micro-electro-mechanical systems. Valdor has filed a patent application for its 2D self-alignment Impact Mount technology.
