Agere Systems and Yafo Networks announce joint development of high-speed adaptive receiver technology for optical networking systems - New Products

Agere Systems and Yafo Networks, a provider of adaptive optical subsystems, announced a partnership to jointly develop integrated adaptive receiver technology for high-speed optical transmissions. This device will offer receiver performance and low distortion at 40 gigabits-per-second, giving systems manufacturers the ability to develop the next generation of optical networks by eliminating one of the most limiting impairments in high data-rate systems.

Under this agreement, Yafo and Agere will develop 40 Gbit/s receivers that incorporate polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation and other features inside a compact, integrated module. This agreement spans product definition and development of integrated receiver modules, combining Yafo's industry-leading PMD compensation technology with Agere's expertise in 40 Gbit/s receiver design and other optical component technologies.
