Enablence Technologies Inc., will be working with Intel (News - Alert) and other companies for developing a new optical connection technology for personal computers.
The company is a supplier of fiber-to-the-home, or “FTTH,” equipment for triple-play residential and business services and optical components and sub systems for access, metro and long-haul markets.
Intel recently launched its Light Peak during the Intel Developer Forum. Light Peak is a 10 Gigabit per second optical interconnect for PCs that will be built using photodiodes including Enablence’s large area dual wavelength 10 Gbps photodiodes, said company sources. More details regarding Enablence’s dual wavelength 10 Gbps photodiode can be obtained from the company Web site.
Jason Ziller, director, Optical I/O Program Office, Intel Corp., said that the company is pleased to be working with Enablence to make Light Peak optical components ready to ship in 2010.
“Light Peak has high bandwidth and the ability to run multiple I/O protocols over a single fiber cable, enabling the technology to connect to many devices such as displays, disk drives, peripherals, and docking stations on a single fiber cable,” Ziller said.
Company officials said that Intel’s Light Peak platform is designed to deliver high bandwidth of up to 10 Gbps, with the potential to grow to 100 Gbps soon.

Arvind Chhatbar, CEO of Enablence said that he was pleased to work with Intel in the creation of a new generation of optical interconnects for consumer applications leveraging Enablence’s technology capabilities in this new area of application.
Canada-based Enablence’s Systems Division is focusing on expanding its fiber-to-the-premise or FTTP product portfolio which features several architectural options. Service providers will be able to evolve their access networks from traditional copper-based networks to advanced optical communications access networks based on IP and Ethernet standards. This will enable triple-play voice, video and data services including HDTV, IP Telephony and ultrafast internet access, company officials said.
The company’s optical Components and Subsystems employs the Planar Lightwave Circuit or PLC technology which can integrate multiple components into a single optical chip to bring down size and costs. Network and equipment designers use Enablence products in their transceivers, splitters, waveguides, optical channel monitors, multiplexers, ROADMs, switches, tunable dispersion compensators, and photodiodes.
