POINTek Releases 10,000th Athermal AWG at Its New Plant in Seoul

LOS ANGELES, March 12 /PRNewswire/ — POINTek today announced a complete success in ramping up its flagship product, athermal Arrayed Waveguide (AWG), in its new production facility in Seoul, South Korea. POINTek’s CEO, Dr. TH Rhee, commented that relocation of its production plant to Seoul was necessary to meet growing demand for athermal AWGs worldwide including Korea. The ramp-up facility expansion makes it possible to produce more than 1000 units per month. This is in tune with anticipated growth in WDM-PON and FTTH-driven global recognition of athermal AWGs for broadband access optical multiplexer/de-multiplexer device usage, according to POINTek’s Chief Marketing Officer, Dr. Donald P. Yu, at the corporate marketing office in Los Angeles, USA. “To date, we have seen more demand in carrier’s transport system improvement and network system vendors’ equipment upgrades at Tier-one optical network installations and long-haul transport,” Yu states. Commemorating the 10,000th AWG with Dr. Hyng Jae Lee, POINTek’s CTO and production staffs, Dr. Rhee has expressed extended application of athermal AWGs in DWDM-based broadband markets, and he plans to unveil new integrated optical modules based on POINTek’s core product, athermal AWG, at the forthcoming OFC/NFOEC Exposition in San Diego, March 23-25, 2010.

With an eye towards replacing traditional thermal AWG markets with cost-effective athermal AWG, POINTek’s athermal AWG is designed to take advantage of high performance in terms of environmental reliability and athermal characteristics. The “athermalization” innovation in packaging process differentiates POINTek’s athermal AWG from the conventional AWG. At present, POINTek manufactures many types of athermal AWG, ranging from 16-channel/200GHz up to 88-channel/50GHz. POINTek can tailor each athermal AWG per customer’s specifications in terms of channel spacing, type (flat top, semi-flat top, and Gaussian), and other optical parameters.

POINTek’s current athermal AWG family of product can support for WDM-PON, Metro/ROADM, Long-Haul and CATV applications. POINTek also produces multi-channel type dual athermal AWGs (both Mux and DeMux in a single palm-sized housing/case) and is planning to introduce a greater PLC integration with built-in power monitoring.

About POINTek

POINTek (Planar Optical Integration Technology), launched in 2000, was initially established to promote PLC-based optical component and packaging services, but became a niche market player in athermal AWG specialty products. Tuned in with broadband access via FTTX initiatives in telecommunication carriers in Korea as well as global broadband services, POINTek quickly became a world leader in athermal AWG through specific IPs and know-how about process engineering in optical packaging for delivering high-performance and reliability at the lowest cost possible.
