Phoenix to Unveil SDM Components at OFC

March 04, 2013 |
KENT, U.K. -- Phoenix Photonics, the UK-based optical fiber components specialist, will launch a new range of fiber spatial mode control components, complementing its polarization mode control range, later this month at OFC (19 - 21 March, Anaheim Convention Center, CA, Booth #1710). Phoenix will showcase mode converters for Few Moded Fibers and Photonic Lantern technology for SDM (Space Division Multiplexing).

As a result of its innovative R&D work, Phoenix has the technologies and expertise to manufacture high-quality optical fiber components. The company’s portfolio already includes a very popular range of all-fiber polarization control products. The new components are a result of Phoenix’s research in the EU supported MODE-GAP project, investigating mode division multiplexing for next generation telecommunication networks.

With increasing demands for data, there is a developing market interest in SDM techniques to address the potential capacity crunch. Multimode transmission is a possible solution to meet the industry’s needs, and Phoenix is currently using all-fiber technology to develop a new range of passive spatial mode control components.
