with Finisar and HHI, u2t has taken a significant step to broaden its portfolio and further strengthen its long-standing collaboration with HHI on high performance optoelectronic components for the optical communications industry,” says Andreas Umbach, CEO of u2t Photonics AG.
“We are excited about Finisar and u2t’s exclusive access to HHI’s current InP MZM technology, as well as the future InP MZM technology that will be developed jointly by HHI, Finisar and u2t,” adds Martin Schell, Head of the Photonics Components Department at HHI. “We believe u2t’s local presence and leading technical capabilities and Finisar’s global reach and volume manufacturing strength represent the ideal relationship for the continued development, commercialization, and broad market adoption of HHI’s InP MZM technology.”
“Since 2009, Finisar has worked with COGO and HHI to commercialize HHI’s InP MZM technology in a number of leading 40G and 100G transceiver products. Building on that foundation, we believe this new relationship with u2t and our joint exclusive access to HHI MZM technology will enable the rapid development of new InP MZMs for next-generation 100G coherent long-haul linecards and pluggable 100G coherent metro transceivers,” comments John Clark, Finisar’s Executive Vice President for Technology and Global R&D. “The u2t team has a solid track record of enabling successive generations of new high speed fibre optic equipment with unique receive- side components based on HHI technology. We’re looking forward to a fruitful relationship with u2t to deliver unique transmit-side solutions for data rates of 100G and above.”
Avago acquires CyOptics for $400 million
Gaining the indium phosphide specialist will widen Avago’s portfolio in data centre applications
Avago Technologies Limited, a supplier of analogue interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, has completed its acquisition of CyOptics, Inc.
CyOptics is an expert in InP optical chip and component technologies for the data communications and telecommunications markets, for aggregate consideration of approximately $400 million in cash.
Avago believes the acquisition of CyOptics will strengthen its fibre optics product portfolio for 40G and 100G enterprise and data centre applications. CyOptics’ single-mode InP laser, receiver and photonics integration capability will help extend Avago’s technology leadership position in these applications.

The judges for the Next Generation Optical Networking Awards said, “The InP (Indium Phosphide) technology based PICs Infinera delivers is far and away the most innovative component available today. In a land of me- too products this company has dared to build something different.”
VCSEL-based technology of today.
Also, the acquisition of CyOptics will facilitate Avago’s establishment of a complementary optical components business, not only to serve growing segments of the access, metro and long-haul markets, but also for enterprise and data centre segments.
Infinera PICs pick up award
The firm’s InP (indium phosphide) technology based PICs were named
Infinera’s 500 gigabit per second (Gb/s) photonic integrated circuit (PIC) were awarded at the Next Generation Optical Networking Awards 2013 in Monaco last week.
500 Gb/s PICs are a key ingredient of the Intelligent Transport Network. Embedded in the DTN-X packet optical transport networking platform, Infinera says its devices enable the industry’s only commercially available 500 Gb/s long-haul super-channels.
Super-channels reduce complexity in carrier networks by simplifying the process of provisioning transmission capacity. This award follows a similar award last year for the Infinera 100 Gb/s PIC, named Best 100G Optical Component at the Next Generation Optical Networking Awards ceremony in 2012.
Intelligent Transport Networks based on PIC technology are deployed by 109 customers in 67 countries around the world. Infinera’s PICs have exceeded one billion hours of operation in live networks without failure.
This award was established to celebrate and recognise the achievements made by service providers and solutions providers in the optical networking industry.
