itto Denko/Hydranautics and Statkraft have entered into an agreement for the development


and supply of membranes for osmotic power. The agreement between the two companies will accele- rate the development of the new renewable energy technology.


Statkraft has developed osmotic power for a decade and opened the world‘s first prototype facility for osmotic power in 2009. Membrane is a key compo- nent in osmotic power generation and the agreement between the two companies will accelerate the de- velopment of the new renewable energy technology. Under the agreement, Nitto Denko/Hydranautics will develop membranes specifically designed for the use in large scale osmotic power plants. The develop- ment of more efficient membranes will contribute to making the technology competitive with other new, renewable energy sources and will bring osmotic power further towards future commercialization.

eoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN) has quadrupled capacity for PIC-based Integrated


Coherent Receivers (ICR) for state-of-the-art 40 and 100Gbps coherent fiber optic transport systems. The Company believes that the industry is coales- cing behind the “coherent technology” approach for high-speed “backbone” networks. By combining the NeoPhotonics™ PIC-based ICR, which has one of the industry’s highest signal detection responses, with advanced digital signal processing on each channel, the coherent approach is designed to provide service providers a solution for leveraging their existing fiber optic cable investments longer, more efficiently and in an “on demand” manner.


“The rapid increase in the use of coherent trans- mission technology for 40 Gbps on the line side, coupled with an initial ramp of 100 Gbps coherent systems, necessitates a significant increase in volume shipments of ICRs while maintaining stringent optical performance requirements,” said Tim Jenks, Chair- man and CEO of NeoPhotonics. “Our photonic integration technology utilizes our semiconductor- based wafer manufacturing capabilities and is in- herently high quality, scalable and cost-effective, which positions us ahead of the demand curve for this important technology,” concluded Mr. Jenks.


The NeoPhotonics ICR is designed to convert the phase encoded optical signals into electrical signals of varying intensity, which can then be analyzed using digital signal processing. As carriers upgrade
