    FINAL SEMINAR OF THE SEMESTER

    12/2 – Dr. JULIE SHERIDAN ENG, Finisar Corporation

    “Optical Communications Components: Present and Future - An Industry Perspective”

    Abstract
    This talk will review the technology required to address today's optical communication components markets, including telecom, Ethernet, storage, wireless, and fiber-to-the home. Specifically, lasers and detectors, optical packaging, integrated circuits, and transceivers and transponders for these markets will be discussed. In addition, technology needed to fuel future communication bandwidth growth will be discussed, including technology for products operating at speeds beyond 100Gb/s. Areas where academic research will aid industry will also be highlighted.
