Eblana Photonics announces first shipments of ultra-narrow linewidth, low noise laser diodes emitting at lambda = 1310 nm and 1550 nm.

Dublin, 13th September 2007 - Eblana Photonics Ltd. (Dublin, Ireland) has announced first shipments of single wavelength laser diodes for analog and other applications that demand ultra-narrow linewidth and low phase noise operation. This latest product series extends and complements Eblana's existing family of cutting edge laser products which target high volume applications such as GPON, 10GBASE-LR/LRM/LW and 10.0G Fibre Channel.

"These remarkable laser products exhibit RIN down to -160dB/Hz and emission linewidths below 100kHz - even at emitted powers as low as 500uW. They reflect our continuing commitment to drive costs down in high performance optical module manufacture," said James O'Gorman, Eblana's CEO. He added, "Once again our engineering and design teams have leveraged our unique technology platform to redefine the norms in laser diode performance".

"Initial users of these products have been extremely positive", said Daniel Tine, Eblana's Head of North American Sales and Business Development. "This new product family increases the affordability of transceivers and transponders in conventional applications that require ultra-narrow linewidth, low noise sources such as Long Reach (LR)/Very Long Reach (VR) spans in Metro systems and Long Haul (LH) and Ultra Long Haul (ULH) systems". Bo Cai, Eblana's Head of Asian Sales and Business Development added, "These lasers also make the superior sensitivity and longer transmission span achieved with coherent communications systems a real commercial alternative to WDM-based Access systems. They extend our product offering into the analog, CATV, back-haul and coherent WDM spaces providing distinct advantages to our customers in those increasingly challenging markets".
