CLARIPHY COMMUNICATIONS AND BOOKHAM TO JOINTLY PRESENT TECHNICAL PAPER AT OFC/NFOEC

 

Collaborative Single Mode Fiber Test Results to be Revealed

 

IRVINE, Calif., February 25, 2008 – ClariPhy Communications, Inc., a fabless semiconductor company specializing in high speed communications ICs, today announced that Dr. Norm Swenson, ClariPhy’s chief technology officer, has co-authored a technical paper with Bookham senior engineer Dr. Robert Griffin.  The peer-reviewed paper will be presented at OFC/NFOEC, the premier technical conference on optical communications, to be held in San Diego, California, February 24-28, 2008.   

 

The paper, entitled “Combination of InP MZM Transmitter and Monolithic CMOS 8-State MLSE Receiver for Dispersion Tolerant 10 Gb/s Transmission,” will be presented in a conference session on electrical equalization.  This paper describes the technical results of combining Bookham’s compact Indium Phosphide modulators and ClariPhy’s MLSE based transceiver and compares this to published performance of linear electro-optic Mach-Zehnder modulators combined with oversampled MLSE.  Further, the paper describes the potential of achieving significant reduction in power dissipation and footprint through such technology combination.

 

The presentation will take place in Room 6F in session OThO2.  Session OThO2 takes place on Thursday, February 28 at 1:30 PM.  Interested parties can register onsite or by visiting the OFC/NFOEC website at http://www.ofcnfoec.org.
