CyOptics introduces 10Gb/s TOSAs with a wide operating temperature range of -40C to +90degC for DWDM applications

 

Lehigh Valley, PA, July 22, 2008 – CyOptics Inc., a leader in Indium Phosphide (InP) optical chip and component technologies, today announced the availability of its 10Gbps XMD TOSAs (Transmit Optical Sub-Assemblies) and TOSAs with integrated driver IC enabling DWDM 80km applications with an extended operating temperature range.

The new 10Gbps Miniature Device (XMD) Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) TOSAs, 1625L3 for 40km and 1626L3 for 80km applications are available for an extended operating temperature range of –40 to +90degC, while the 10Gbps TOSAs with integrated driver IC, 1635L7 (40km) and 1636L7 (80km), are offered for an operating temperature range of -5 to +85degC. All products target high performance XFP transceivers addressing OC-192/STM-64 SONET/SDH, 10Gbps DWDM and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Both product families deliver very low, industry leading thermo-electric cooler power consumption values over the entire temperature range of less than 0.8W for the 1626L3 and, less than 1.2W for the 1636L7.

"Our new and improved TOSAs address the need of transceiver manufacturers for higher operating temperatures driven by the increased packing density of pluggable transceivers on optical line cards," said Stefan Rochus, VP of Marketing and Business Development. "With the addition of these TOSAs and the availability of industrial temperature range performance we have one of the industry broadest 10Gbps transmit and receive product offerings."

The introduction of the extended temperature TOSA devices enhances the CyOptics 10Gbps product portfolio of FP, DFB, and EML-based TOSAs as well as PIN and APD-based ROSAs (Receive Optical Sub-Assembly). CyOptics products meet the stringent RoHS 6/6 environmental compliance requirements. CyOptics’ core competencies include chip level design and fabrication and precision automated packaging and test.

The 1625&1626 L3 and 1635&1636 L7 are available in production quantities now.
