TXP Expands Opto-electronics Testing Capabilities
June 1, 2005 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
RICHARDSON, Texas — Texas Prototypes, Inc. (TXP) announces that its Photonics Division has expanded its opto-electronics testing capabilities to include long-haul/metro/access optical test-bed systems, 40-Gb error-rate test systems, TOSA and ROSA accelerated aging systems, temperature-cycling and thermal-shock chambers, vibration test, shock test systems, fiber-integrity test systems, IL/RL monitoring systems, 10/2.5-G module test systems, PD-AC/DC test systems, LD-AC/DC test systems and passive-component qualification testing.
The new photonics facilities in Richardson, Texas have 2500 sq. ft. of cleanroom manufacturing space, working in partnership with the Korea Photonics Technology Institute (KOPTI) in Gwangju, Korea to provide access to over $100 million in Telcordia system-level test equipment.
"The primary challenges with high-speed optics are not optical," says Michael Shores, TXP president and CEO. "Electronics and test are the real challenges. When testing for opto-electronics, it is necessary to determine the true output, or the electronic signal that is converted using a photodiode from the optical signal. Opto-electronics have the highest level of electronics, so testing is critical. TXP has expanded its resource capabilities in test equipment and test engineers to provide a complete complement of testing capabilities to opto-electronic design and manufacturing companies."
