IRVINE, California - October 12, 2002 - Silicon Lightwave Technology achieves the industry's lowest class connector loss of 0.15 dB for Polarization Maintaining jumpers and pigtails in the visible wavelength band with FC/APC connector. At shorter wavelength, the fiber core is getting smaller which results to higher conventional connector loss. Typical loss value is ~ 0.6 dB at 633 nm PANDA fiber wavelength for FC/APC connector. However, Silicon Lightwave proprietary PM process allows consistent low loss of ~ 0.15 dB for FC/APC connectors at 633 nm wavelength and excellent polarization extinction ratio ~ 27 dB. The low loss and high extinction ratio feature is critical for conserving the valuable signal power, meeting the system power budget, and provide a clean output signal for many applications including telecom, biomedical, military & aerospace, semiconductor and instrumentation. R & D and production quantities have been shipped to research and OEM customers.
