with the Oclaro 2x1 WSS modules currently shipping to customers.
“Consumer demand for higher bandwidth continues to grow at a steady rate and operators worldwide are scrambling to provide the highest speeds at the most affordable price points,” said Dr. Krishna Bala, EVP WSS Division at Oclaro. “We designed our dynamic spectrum 2x1 WSS to meet these needs by enabling an easy and inexpensive way to increase bandwidth in the network without having to change out the WSS. We are also developing dynamic spectrum for Oclaro’s high port count WSS to extend this capability to all ROADM applications.”
Sensor Electronic Technology, Inc. wins award to develop water disinfection units based on solid state deep ultraviolet LEDs
Sensor Electronic Technology, Inc. have announced that is has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for $475,000 to develop point-of-use (POU) Deep Ultraviolet LED (DUV LED) based drinking water disinfection systems.
During this SBIR program, SETI will design, develop, fabricate and demonstrate advanced all- LED water treatment units with reduced power consumption and extended reliability. The main effort will focus on increasing the germicidal efficacy and reducing the cost of LED disinfection units through the advances in LED packaging and disinfection chamber design.
Through Phase I of this NSF SBIR program, SETI recently demonstrated 99.99% disinfection of E-coli in a POU drinking water system with water flowing at 1 liter per minute using its 275nm UVCLEAN LED lamps emitting around 30mW of optical power. Following this success, SETI has begun to ship bespoke proof of concept units to companies for evaluation in consumer products.
Further development of UV disinfection technology using semiconductor UV lamps will utilize unique

device characteristics, such as controlled UV spectral power distribution, fast switching time, lower power consumption, high reliability, small size and ruggedness. SETI believes that these advantages will enable new opportunities to incorporate UV disinfection into consumer water purification systems.
About SETI
SETI is the world’s only commercial manufacturer of deep UV LEDs operating in the germicidal wavelength range and has standard UVCLEAN® lamps available with up to 50mW of optical output power at 275nm or can work with customers to provide bespoke OEM solutions.
LEDs and LED lamps are also commercially available from 240nm to 400nm for many other applications including air and surface disinfection, UV curing, scientific instrumentation medical diagnosis and therapy.

Indian research institute places multiple system order with Oxford Instruments
Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology, supplier of etch, deposition and growth systems, has recently received an order for three plasma etch and deposition tools from the Centre of Excellence in Nanoelectronics (CEN) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore, India.
The three System100 tools will be situated in the CEN’s state-of-the art nanofabrication facility’s new clean room and consist of two PlasmaPro™ System100 ICP Cobra etch tools and one PlasmaPro System100 PECVD tool.
A flexible and powerful solution for plasma etching and deposition processes, the System100’s load- locked wafer entry allows fast wafer exchange, the widest range of process gases and an extended process temperature range. Allowing maximum process flexibility for compound semiconductor, optoelectronics, photonics, MEMS and microfluidics applications, the PlasmaPro System100 plasma
