On a segment basis, Fibre Optics gross margin declined to 8.2 percent from the 10.3 percent gross margin reported in the immediate preceding quarter and Photovoltaics gross margin decreased to 26.5 percent from the 37.0 percent gross margin reported in the immediate preceding quarter. A $1.0 million warranty reserve related to the previously divested Enterprise business was recorded this period.
Order backlog for the firm’s Photovoltaics segment totaled $51.4 million as of March 31st, 2014, representing a 7.1 percent decrease from $55.3 million reported as of December 31st, 2013
Business Outlook
On a consolidated basis, Emcore expects revenue for our third quarter ended June 30th, 2014 to be in the range of $40 to $44 million with an increase in Fibre revenue and a decrease in Photovoltaics revenue.
Conference Call
Emcore discussed its financial results in a conference call and the webcast is available for replay on the company’s website.
Anadigics wins orders from multiple Chinese smartphone OEMs
The ProEficient and ProVantage solutions are based on the firm’s InGaP (indium gallium phosphide) technology. They are claimed to deliver differentiated performance and exceptional value in support of next generation of smartphones
Anadigics’ ProEficient and ProVantage power amplifiers (PAs) have been selected by multiple Chinese OEMs to enable wireless connectivity in new smartphone designs.
ProEficient solutions deliver high levels of performance and efficiency across all power levels. ProVantage power amplifiers offer a blend of performance, integration and lower overall system cost.
at multiple OEMs in China,” says Dave Cresci, president of Anadigics. “According to a recent report by DigiTimes Research , the sequential annual growth rate in smartphone shipments from Chinese OEMs is expected to exceed 30 percent in 2014.”
“Anadigics is well positioned to capitalise on this expected growth with design wins at several key OEMs, including Huawei, ZTE, Coolpad and Innos. We anticipate that these new design wins for our ProEficient and ProVantage power amplifiers should enable a significant increase in our mobile products revenue at Chinese OEMs.”
Anadigics’ ProEficient and ProVantage solutions utilise the company’s patented InGaP-Plus technology.
ProEficient power amplifiers also leverage Anadigics’ unique design architectures to offer one of the highest efficiencies across all power levels, enabling greater talk time and longer data application use.
ProVantage power amplifiers are designed to provide manufacturers with excellent value by combining high performance with space-saving integration and lower overall system cost.
Both ProEficient and ProVantage solutions are designed for use with an external switch mode power supply (SMPS) to support average power tracking (APT), which further increases efficiency and reduces current consumption at low and medium operating powers.
G&H optical fibre amplifiers for satellite comms very robust
Following positive results of recent gamma radiation tests, on its optical fibre amplifiers, Gooch & Housego have proclaimed the robustness of both the design and components
Fibre optic systems are beginning to penetrate satellite payloads and photonic technology is expected to play a critical role in next generation space missions, enabling high-speed inter-satellite and satellite to ground laser communications.
An integral part of these laser communication terminals is the optical fibre amplifier which is used to boost the signal optical power and enable long reach in free-space. Gooch & Housego (G&H) company Constelex and the G&H (Torquay, UK) based Systems Technology Group (STG) is focused on the design and development of next generation space photonics components and systems, including optical fibre amplifiers.
These amplifiers are applicable to satellite laser communications, within the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) program of the European Space Agency (ESA).
Examples of ProVantage and ProEficient PAs “We are extremely pleased with our design-win progress
Optical amplifiers are built with high-reliability G&H active and passive fibre optic components. Modules with the optical circuit design and device specifications follow future mission
