The DWDM market will be huge in the coming years. Refer to this post for some estimates: exchange2000.com Here is an excerpt from Lumenon's web site at www.lumenon.com Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM): DWDM is a core technology that satisfies the needs of communications service providers who are anxious to increase the capacity of optical fiber and to plan for reliability and open-ended network expansion without the cost of having to install more fiber. Trade analysts predict DWDM spending to reach $4.5 billion by 2001, and as much as $12 billion by 2005. The heart of the wavelength division multiplexing system is the DWDM component that separates and combines closely spaced optical wavelengths (channels). This component solves the bandwidth dilemma by multiplying the number of channels that just one optical fiber can carry by up to 40 or more times. While existing DWDM solutions are cumbersome and expensive, Lumenon's revolutionary product will assert itself in the industry as a nimble and cost effective alternative to create virtual fiber cable. Lumenon is unique in the world in producing DWDM components in the form of miniature "optical chips" on silicon by its low temperature PHASIC™ manufacturing innovation. PHASIC™ stands for Photonic Hybrid Active Silica Integrated Circuit. The PHASIC™ DWDM process has been invented by Lumenon to produce DWDM components to replace fused cascaded fiber Bragg grating products, and dielectric thin film/micro-optical wavelength filters and routers in DWDM systems. Lumenon offers a truly flexible combination of photonic materials and optical circuit design in a unique platform technology that can be tailored to fit a broad spectrum of communications applications. Looking forward, our Phasic™ technology platform will be extended to produce a host of new products for industry and public sectors. These products include dispersion compensators, circulators, modulators, transceivers and receivers.
