JGKB Photonics is a unique optical technology company tightly focused on the high growth 40Gb/s high-speed optical networking market. The company’s proprietary, patented, electro-optical amplitude modulator technology represents a fundamentally new approach in fiber optic telecommunications. An approach that offers customers significant advantages in terms of performance, low-power and reliability.

“ The accelerated pace of commercialization in the 40Gb/s Photonics sector makes our relocation all the more timely” said Alan Guest, President and CEO., JGKB Photonics, Inc. "We are seeing increasing customer acceptance that our advanced technology mode converter platform delivers the critical attributes of low power, ultra-high bandwidth, small footprint, and long distance performance demanded in the marketplace. These larger facilities enable us to better meet the burgeoning demand for our products. ”

JGKB’s new 40Gb/s electro-optic modulator EOM-40G/LV-1550 and EOM-40G/HB-1550 products are built on a proven Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) technology base and utilize polarization mode conversion to provide a low-power zero-chirp design fully in accordance with Telcordia GR-468-CORE standards. Engineering samples are available right now with production components scheduled late fall.
