Phosistor Unveils Superlens, OPM

PLEASANTON, Calif. -- Phosistor Technologies, Inc., a new emerging leader of integratable photonics, today announced that the company has developed the world’s smallest, high performance and low cost super lens that will drastically reduce the cost of packaging of both optical active and passive devices. The super lens measures only ten micrometers and is manufactured using traditional silicon VLSI fabrication technologies.The development was led by Dr. Yan Zhou, VP of Technology. According to Dr. Cheng and Dr. Yun, Senior Engineers of Technology, "The super lens can be mass produced on either 4” or 6” Silicon wafers, and has flexibility of design change during fabrication." “The versatility of the super lens is such that it can be integrated on Silicon optical bench allowing passively self-aligned coupling or made as part of lensed fiber, thus enabling low cost packaging for cost sensitive metro and access markets”, said Dr. Ranjit Mand, VP of Marketing. "We are able to achieve this first in the industry result, due to our propriety design, state-of-the growth techniques and processing", said Dr. Seng-Tiong Ho, CEO of Phosistor Technologies, Inc.In a separate release:Phosistor Technologies, Inc., a new emerging leader of integratable photonics, today announced that the company has developed the world’s smallest, high performance and low cost Optical Performance Monitor (OPM) chip for DWDM applications. Phosistor’s OPM chip consisting of high precision wavelength Demux structure and multiple photodetector elements are all monolithically integrated on a single InP chip. “We have achieved a great feat in developing this OPM on a chip, overcoming many technological hurdles”, commented Dr. Seng-Tiong Ho, CEO of Phosistor Technologies, Inc. The development was lead by Dr. Boon-Siew Ooi, VP of Technology, Dr. Yuan Shi, VP of Operations, with senior engineers Dr. Xu, Dr. Chang, and Dr. Zhang. “OPM on a chip reduces the cost of monitoring the optical signals and will play an important part in the development of intelligent optical networks”, said Dr. Ranjit Mand, VP of Marketing.
