Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Future networks will need flexibility and novel components that can move quickly from R&D to production.

William H. Diamond, E-Tek Dynamics Inc.

Since the mid-1980s, optical fiber has been the backbone of telecommunications networks. Companies that make system hardware for these networks have traditionally been large, established and well-known. At the heart of the technology, however, are small firms producing the semiconductor lasers, detectors, transmitters, receivers, multiplexers, optical amplifiers, couplers and isolators that are the enablers of the fiber optic revolution. These smaller companies have included privately held technology boutiques and captive-supply divisions of larger entities. Collectively known as fiber...Read full article
