A prime objective for 2003 is the formation of a PMAC Standards Subcommittee, whose mission will be to coordinate standards development between IPC efforts and those of other international standards organizations. An important milestone in this effort will be the imminent release of a new standardization roadmapping document, "IPC-0040: Optoelectronics Assembly and Packaging Technology," which is nearing ballot and should be issued in the first half of 2003. The IPC-0040 document, a culmination of 18 months of collaborative work between numerous industry contributors, identifies more than 20 specific areas that need serious, immediate standards work. These areas include test methods, assembly techniques, fiber management, cleanliness, inspection and quality standards. Additionally, the document references many existing fiber optic-related standards.Newport Corp. is a leading global supplier of advanced technology products and systems to the semiconductor, communications, electronics and research markets.
