Press release
GigaTera demonstrates data transmission over an optical
fiber link using its recently developed pulse-generating laser.
Göteborg, Sweden - GigaTera partnered with Sweden's Chalmers
University to demonstrate data transmission using the company's ERGO™
pulse generating laser.
According to Dr Per Olof Hedekvist, Assistant Professor of Photonics Laboratory
at Chalmers, "We were pleased to partner with GigaTera and be one
of the first groups to characterize their new laser source for optical
communications. The device's performance and small form factor make the
ERGO pulse generating laser an interesting candidate for the next generation
of fiber-optic transmission systems".
Dr. Kurt Weingarten, CTO of GigaTera added, "Working with Chalmers
Photonics Laboratories enabled us to test the ERGO pulse generating laser
in a realistic network environment and with a full range of the latest
diagnostic equipment. Our results are a strong validation of our all-optical
pulsed laser approach to fiber-optic transmission. GigaTera is commercializing
its technology which will significantly reduce the cost of high data rate
transmission".
About GigaTera
GigaTera is a developer of all-optical 10 & 40 GHz pulse sources,
which reduce the cost, and complexity of high-performance RZ transmission
by eliminating the need for expensive pulse modulators and their drive
electronics. GigaTera's pulse sources are also compatible with the requirements
of test & measurement and systems development applications.
About Chalmers University of Technology
The Photonics Laboratory at Chalmers has more than 20 years of experience
in optical communication research. The Chalmers Fiber group has developed
systems and subsystems for 10, 40 and 80 Gb/s transmission, and is presently
evaluating 160 Gb/s and higher.
