Company Profile
Versawave provides modulation components for high-speed data
and high
bandwidth
optical
transmission
applications.
Versawave’s
proprietary
GaAs-based
design
provides
system
manufacturers
with precision
and performance.
Versawave’s
patented
technology
ensures
superior
functionality
and low
drive voltage
for polarization
or amplitude
modulation
applications.
Versawave
can deliver
custom components and services
to the
optical
networking
industry.
Technology Foundation
Versawave has developed and launched a 40 Gb/s modulator
for fiber
optic applications.
Versawave’s modulation
components
employ
a GaAs
(Gallium-Arsenide)
based substrate
using a
patented
configuration
of slow-wave
electrodes
for mode
conversion.
Unlike
conventional Mach-Zehnder technologies, this proprietary design
produces
greatly
reduced
drive voltage,
extended
bandwidth
and zero chirp. Versawave
products
address
the challenges
faced by
RF and
optical
components
in ultra high-speed
telecommunications
systems
using 40
Gb/s technologies
and beyond.

Products and Services
Versawave provides 40 Gb/s electro-optic modulators in both
Polarization
and Amplitude
configurations.
Versawave
has developed
an innovative
and patented
design
that exploits
the unique material properties of GaAs (Gallium-Arsenide)
to provide
greater
efficiencies
in polarization
modulation
with low drive voltage and insertion loss. Ultra-wide
bandwidth
and small
footprint
enhance
the high
performance
levels of these components to beyond the industry standard
ranges
specified
by Telcordia
GR-468.
Versawave is able to employ its proprietary knowledge to
design
and build
custom
components to spec for the electro-optical industry, including
telecom,
high speed networks and military applications.
