Photonic Integrated Rookie: Onechip Be Using The Technology To Reduce The Cost Of Ftth Transceivers

Famous in the field of photonic integrated manufacturers we are familiar with Infinera

, but recently an original focus on fiber access ups OneChip also entered the field, and is expected to achieve good results.

OneChip's management hopes to reduce the use of photonic integration technology with fiber-optic transceivers FTTH cost. Particular attention is that this new innovation in Canada's goal is to optical transceivers in all the components into a single InP photonic integrated circuits (PIC) on.

If the implementation goes well, OneChip will enter into a huge potential markets - from those associated with the photonic integrated high-volume, low-cost manufacturing process to get great benefits. Ovum Research is responsible for communication devices, vice president of LynnHutcheson looks like this technology is very promising, "OneChip fully integrated technology can help to bring out fully the potential of FTTH, and very promising market access to other optical communications applications."

Ovum's research, from the current nearly 33 million global FTTH users by 2013 this figure will reach 100 million. "Every user needs a FTTH optical transceivers." The implication - the market is considerably large. Upon closer scrutiny, OneChip technology with Infinera's like, which is a focus on long-haul optical transmission market, equipment manufacturers, DWDM platform, its digital optical devices using a unique single PIC chip (the same technology using InP), Size is only a fingernail size chip in the 10 transmitters and receivers.

However, the difference between the two companies is still very, Infinera uses a vertically integrated way, that their manufacturing and supporting high-end PIC system, OneChip work with the fabless model, by outsourcing chip manufacturing, and then these products sold directly to GPON and EPON vendors.

In addition, to date, Infinera acquired venture capital funds totaling more than 3 billion dollars, while OneChip access of venture capital is far below this figure, two rounds of 2007 and 2008, total financing to reach 36 million dollars.

But this does not explain OneChip unlikely, OneChip just want the help of photonic integration technology to reduce part of the cost transceivers, as well as chip manufacturing and production, this does not seem difficult. OneChip JimHjartarson CEO said, "We want to invest in a proven, this is not a scientific test, but a real commercially available technology, we hope to have prototypes for user testing this year."

In the EPON and GPON optical transceiver in the field, OneChip working with Enablence, NeoPhotonics, and SourcePhotonics (Fiberxon), etc. PLC Corps Sisha, these manufacturers to use the planar waveguide circuit (PLC) technology, that is, a silicon-silicon platform integrated laser chips and other sub-components. However OneChip believe may be using InP technology to produce better, single-chip transceiver design eliminates the internal needs of the various components of the calibration, which means no need for human intervention transceiver can stop to manufacturing, assembly and testing.

The only remaining work is to chip the optical assembly and optical alignment, which can be completed by the robot, so that production is almost fully automated. Another advantage of using PIC technology can be designed to more complex transceiver, OneChip claimed a unique optical amplification technology will be integrated into PIC years, be allowed to meet the link budget requirements more onerous.
