GigOptix Offers the Widest Portfolio
of Optical PMD ICs for All Speeds
and All Ranges


GigOptix, the leading semiconductor manufacturer of high-precision physical media dependents (PMDs) for optically connected systems, is strengthening its portfolio by expanding its solution range from the long haul into shorter reaches, while increasing speed from 10G to 40G and 100G, and capitalizing on its recent merger with Helix, AG, to move from serial PMD (physical media dependent) solutions into the parallel PMD domain.

Semiconductor Technologies
for Optical Interconnection


Photons rather than electrons will increasingly carry information in our daily lives. This trend began in the telecom and datacom industries and now optical interconnections connect continents and cities together almost exclusively. It continues in enterprises that are replacing copper infrastructure with high speed optical interconnects in their corporate networks: employees not only require more storage and access to key information but also supercomputing...
