When it comes to storage, small and medium businesses have a lot in common with large enterprises. Just like the Fortune 400, they need to ensure that data is backed up, retrievable and secure, and that data access complies with governmental regulations. Unfortunately, if you are a small business owner you also cope with some challenges the big guys don't have, budgets are small and your IT staff, if you even have one, may not have storage-specific expertise. Attend this webcast and learn storage strategies to meet your growing business demands. Register Now >
Alcatel Optronics (Quote), CyOptics and Oki Electric Industry Co., all in the electro-absorption (EA) domain, launched a joint effort to define a multi-source agreement (MSA) for 40 Gbps electro-absorption modulator-based products.
With its small footprint, high compactness and low electrical power consumption, electro-absorption technology is very well suited to 40 Gbps optical interconnection applications and long distance WDM telecommunication transmissions, officials said.
The three companies will work closely to define a MSA "as soon as possible," officials said. This MSA is expected to have multiple phases, with the first one covering pin-out and footprint standardization, This stage is expected to be completed by the end of 2002. This will be followed immediately by standardization of the performance specification.
The electro-absorption technology is used in compact products such as Electro-Absorption Modulators (EAM) and Electro-absorption Modulator Lasers (EML) with the possibility to integrate a driver circuit in the module. Thanks to its high bandwidth and low drive voltage, electro-absorption technology helps reduce power consumption and allows tighter integration within system cards.
Alcatel Optronics, CyOptics and Oki Electric will independently develop and market products based on this standard, officials added.
