OTTAWA -- Enablence Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ENA - News), a global leader in optical communications which provides Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) based systems, subsystems and components for Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH), metro and long haul markets, introduced new products and technologies at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference/National Fiber Optics Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC) in San Diego, California.

The new products include (1) a 40 Gb/s tunable optical dispersion compensator (TODC), (2) a multicast switch - one of the industry's most advanced switch, (3) high speed DWDM for Transmitter/Receiver Optical Sub-Assembly (TOSA/ROSA), and (4) a photodiode chip with integrated bandpass filter. The four new products apply the company's unique expertise in PLC and respond to the market's need for greater flexibility, integration and smaller footprint.

"Network designers want greater efficiencies from their components and we can deliver it using PLC," said Arvind Chhatbar, CEO of Enablence. "The ability to integrate multiple functions at the chip level not only reduces cost by reducing the overall bill of materials, it also simplifies the requirement while delivering the functionality in a fraction of the footprint. We are the only PLC company in the world with the in-house capability to manufacture polymer, InP/InGaAs and silica-on-silicon chips to meet these requirements."
