Light years ahead of industry competitors, ColorChip is poised to create a fiber optics revolution - based on their SystemOnGlass™ (SOG™) concept - that will change the PON/FTTx – BPON, EPON, GPON and related markets, and will contribute to the rapid development of next generation communication systems. | Overview
In response to the overwhelming global consumer demand for unlimited, high speed, high quality, fiber-based services – including Internet access, CATV, direct broadcast satellite, and interactive video - ColorChip has placed its current focus on the development of splitters and transceivers for the FTTx market. Today’s FTTx technology brings fiber to the home up to 1,000 times the speed of other channels.
The company’s exceptionally high performance, high reliability, high yield, low cost, small footprint platforms, based on a totally new technology - a proprietary Ion-Exchange (IE) Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC), Waveguides-in-Glass, wafer-level production approach - will ultimately allow Triple Play service providers to supply a full range of cost-effective, speed-of-light services.
The Technology
ColorChip has introduced exciting new concepts - including SystemOnGlass™ (SOG™) and Wafer-Scale Photonics Packaging – to the fiber optics communications industry. SOG™ is an extension of the company’s revolutionary Ion-Exchange PLC Waveguides-in-Glass, which are created through a process that is significantly faster, easier, and more cost-effective than other procedures. This process enables lowest insertion loss and polarization dependent loss (PDL), highest channel uniformity, ultra wide band, and exceptional robustness. ColorChip’s SOG™ utilizes no free space elements whatsoever - no thin film filters, no lenses, no mirrors. On a single glass surface that can be easily mounted on a PCB, it integrates, by surface mounting, commercial laser diodes, photodiodes, and other electronic and electro-optical elements – to create the first-of-its-kind SOG™. The company’s technology has clear advantages, and meets the standards for all types of PONs, including BPON (ITU-T G.983), EPON/GEPON (IEEE 802.3ah) and GPON (ITU-T G.984). |
ColorChip currently develops and manufactures splitters and transceivers for the FTTx market, as well as a range of customized OEM products such as PM splitters and optical concentrators. Planned future products, based on the company’s core technology, will benefit a variety of additional markets. All products are Telcordia qualified and compliance-tested.
Splitters - ColorChip's Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) Optical Splitters, designed for Telcos and OEMs, are based on the company’s Ion-Exchange in glass, waveguide technology. The performance of these splitters is unsurpassed in every environment, with their superiority especially notable wherever high splitting ratios are used. They are perfect for access networks, CATV, and other demanding telecom applications – significantly reducing the complexity and cost of OEM systems through exceptionally low insertion loss and low polarization dependent loss (PDL), as well as superb channel uniformity and ultra wide wavelength uniformity. Their robust design complies with Telcordia GR-1209 and GR-1221 requirements.
Transceivers - ColorChip has revolutionized the industry with its state-of-the-art Meteor FTTx Transceivers, which are based on the company’s unique SystemOnGlass™ (SOG™) concept. The Meteor II Transceiver - a single fiber bi-directional Diplexer optical transceiver - includes an upstream 1310nm FP laser and a downstream 1490nm PIN/TIA receiver. The Meteor III Transceiver - a single fiber Triplexer optical transceiver - adds a downstream wavelength (1555nm) dedicated to an analog video channel. The Small Form Factor (SFF) Meteor Transceivers, designed to interface via standard connectors to PCBs, enable simplified integration into ONT/ONU (Optical Network Terminals/Units) and are ideal for budget-conscious OEMs. |
