Albis Optoelectronics presents new 56 Gbaud PAM-4 photodiode with enhanced responsivity
Largest fibre draw furnace ever made – Nextron’s NIF 230
In the past 4 years, the shortage of optical fibre triggered very large equipment investments to increase the worldwide fibre production capacity; Nextrom largely contributed by supplying many new draw towers and proof testers. Some companies chose to improve their draw capacity by increasing the preform sizes, and mainly invested in larger draw furnaces and dual take-ups. Larger preforms help reducing the setup times and increase the overall draw equipment efficiency (OEE). Nowadays the typical diameter of preform made by VAD-OVD VAD-RIC© are up to 215 mm in diameter. However, both cladding technologies are improving and soon the diameter of preforms would increase to 230 mm. With this challenge in mind Nextrom developed probably the largest draw furnace ever made – NIF 230, based on proven technology of the previous NIF 200 Induction Furnace. Nextrom offers multiple options to customise every furnace system is in the range of 150 mm to 170 mm. Preforms made by
Albis Optoelectronics is a leading designer,
developer and manufacturer of high-speed photodiodes. For more than 15 years, the company has
been offering the broadest portfolio of Telcordia qualified InP and GaAs
to specific customer products and needs. Nextrom NIF furnaces can be installed into existing and OEM draw towers for better productivity results. Benefits: l High process speeds up to 3000 m/min. l Preform max. diameter/length – 230 mm/8,5m. l Excellent control of fibre diameter, down to 0.1 um clad deviation. l Dynamic iris for drawing uneven preforms with variations of +/- 12 mm. l Low energy consumption, typically 42 kW for 150 mm performs. l Inert process gas type – only argon gas is required.
enables easy and direct bonding to any TIA pad layout. All photodiode products are completely manufactured in- house in Albis’ dedicated clean- room facilities. Product highlights include: PIN photodiodes for 10G, 25G and 40G digital and analogue receivers. Low bias, top illuminated APDs for 2.5G and 10G OLT/ONUs. 25G APDs for 28 Gbaud PAM-4 and 100GBASE- ER4 applications. Side-illuminated monitor diodes and monitor diode arrays. Photodiodes with integrated lenses and optical filters. And last but not least hermetically packaged, short and long wavelength microwave photodetectors up to 30 GHz.
photodiodes for datacom and telecom applications in the industry. At the upcoming OFC in San Diego, Albis will present its new PD40C1 photodiode chip with enhanced responsivity on booth 4325. The topside illuminated p-i-n photodiode structure is optimised for 56 Gbaud PAM-4 (400GBASE-DR4 and 400G- FR4), single-mode telecom and microwave photonic links, RF over fibre as well as test and measurement applications. The cost effective, small sized chip offers an excellent responsivity of 0.8 A/W at 1310nm. The ground- signal-ground pad configuration
