Tunable Optical Components: Technology, Applications & Opportunites

Photonics Briefing Objective
The existing optical networks use fixed components to provide increased network capacity for point to point networks. The next generation of optical networks will use variable or tunable components for optical switching, dynamically configurable networks, dynamic add/drop multiplexing and rapid provisioning only to name a few.

This briefing will cover all aspects of tunability and variability including tunable lasers, tunable lenses, variable optical attenuators, dynamic gain equalizers, tunable filters, dynamically variable add//drop multiplexes, variable gain amplifies and system requirements for these tunable and variable components. If you are interested in learning about opportunities for next generation components, you need to attend this briefing!

  • CLECs
  • Component Suppliers
  • Long Distance Carriers
  • Telephone Companies
  • Systems Suppliers
  • Entrepreneurs
