Codeon�s 12.5 Gb/s Intensity Modulator Chosen for the MultiWave CoreStream OC-192 Transceivers.

Columbia, MD, AUGUST 7, 2001 – Codean Corp., which manufactures modulators, optical transponder components and modules for the fiberoptic telecommunications industry, today announced that Ciena Corp. has selected its 12.5-Gbit/s Intensity Modulator, part of Codean's Mach-10 product family, for use within the MultiWave CoreStream product. The CoreStream 10-Gbit/s WDM transceiver uses out-of-band forward error correction (FEC) requiring the additional bandwidth provided by the Mach-10TM modulator.

Codeon modulators are distinguished by several key attributes including broad frequency response, long-term bias stability, low RF drive voltage, and all are hermetically packaged an environmental and long-term reliability advantage not provided by all component manufacturers. Each is made of lithium niobate, a proven optoelectronic material that provides superior performance for metro, regional, and long-haul optical transport applications.
