Gamma radiation tests on the optical fibre amplifiers were carried out in March by G&H to assess their performance in space conditions and under total irradiation doses found in Low-Earth and Geostationary orbit satellites.
The radiation results verified the robustness of the design and the components used, as minimal degradation was observed and the performance characteristics of the amplifier remained within the stringent End of Life specifications.
including Juniper Networks, Inc., where he served as Chief of Staff from 2005 to 2006 and Chief Financial Officer from 1997 to 2005. Gani was instrumental in taking Juniper through its hyper-growth phase from a small start-up to its position in IP networking with over $2 billion in revenues.
“I am honoured to join the Infinera board of directors,” says Gani. “I have followed this company for several years and am delighted to support Infinera as it continues to deliver Intelligent Transport Networks around the world and define what the network will be.”
“We are very pleased to welcome Marcel to our board,” comments Kambiz Hooshmand, Chairman of the Board of Infinera. “With his years of experience in the networking industry, he will bring valuable insights and perspective to Infinera as we continue to grow market share and take Infinera to the next level as a company.”
It was also announced that effective May 15th, 2014, Kenneth A. Goldman would be departing from the board of directors, after nine years of service, to fulfil other obligations and to devote additional time to his other responsibilities.

Efstratios Kehayas, Vice President, Space Photonics comments, “G&H continues to push the performance envelope of photonics and now works towards the design and development of low noise pre-amplifiers as well as high power amplifier devices for use in long range inter-satellite laser communication links.”
G&H’s STG, founded in early 2013 has a remit to design, develop and prototype systems-level products. The objective is to build a multi-disciplinary team with expertise in mechanical, electronic and software design and to integrate these technologies with G&H’s expertise in photonics and fibre optics.
The STG is accelerating G&H’s move up the value chain by providing a strong pipeline of component and sub-systems development, and offering customers a complete system design, development and manufacturing service. In addition to developing erbium doped fibre (EDFA) systems for satellite communication, the STG is currently focused on innovative Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) fibre systems for medical imaging.
