Broadcom Limited has announced it will showcase its latest portfolio of optical component solutions for multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) optical transceivers targeting a wide range of optical networking applications that include data centre and enterprise networking, High Performance Computing (HPC), Fibre Channel, metro Ethernet transport and Ethernet Mobile Fronthaul.

Vishay Intertechnology is broadening its optoelectronics portfolio with the introduction of six Automotive Grade, high-speed silicon PIN photodiodes that feature excellent photoresponse linearity for small signal detection.

Offering new health and wellness capabilities for wearable and mobile devices, Integrated Device Technology has introduced a light sensor that accurately detects levels of the UVA and UVB light spectrum. Developed by engineers at recently acquired ZMDI, the two-channel ZOPT2202 sensor has ultra-sensitive photodiodes which, when coupled with the sensor’s patented IR light suppression, deliver a high-performance UV solution.

Silicon Labs has announced two optical sensors: one that can be used to protect consumers from the harmful effects of UV radiation; and one to develop innovative touchless user interfaces leveraging high-performance proximity sensing and gesture recognition.

The Si11x3 family of ambient light sensors includes single-chip devices that eliminate the need for a second sensor, offer optimum display visibility, and provide backlight power reduction and energy efficiency. The devices from Silicon Labs, feature dual 23-bit analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs), an integrated high-sensitivity array of photodiodes, and a digital signal processor.

Analog Devices has introduced an electrometer-grade operational amplifier that enables chemical analysis instruments to achieve the highest level of precision and data repeatability over a wider temperature range in a compact solution that reduces overall BOM and design footprint. The ADA4530-1 op amp achieves this with an input bias current that is at least 20 times lower than competing devices.

Designed for GPON Optical Network Unit (ONU) equipment, the M02027 TIA has been introduced by M/A-COM Technology Solutions (MACOM). The device enables GPON receivers to utilise lower cost PIN photodiodes while offering performance margin in the stringent GPON BOSA-on-Board environment. Offering outstanding power dissipation, the TIA delivers high sensitivity with PIN photodiodes and wide dynamic operating range.

LASER COMPONENTS' Detector Group has announced the introduction of two IR detectors, the IG19 and IA35. The IG19 is an x-InGaAs photodiode with a peak wavelength of 1.75µm, making it suitable for applications that cannot be met spectrally with a regular InGaAs photodiode. The IG19X1000S4i with a 1mm chip diameter in a TO-46 housing is the standard product.

The wafer production for the semiconductor industry is a serious business. EVT has now developed a programme for particle inspection, with EyeVision software. Particles are probably the best known defects when it comes to the wafer production. During transport, processing or even in the plant itself, particles such as dust or material abrasion, can settle on the wafer.

X-FAB Silicon Foundries has announced the expansion of its 0.18 and 0.35μm device portfolio with highly sensitive ultraviolet photodiodes, the first of its kind developed by a silicon foundry. Easily integrated into designs implemented in X-FAB’s modular XH018 and XH035 CMOS process technologies, X-FAB says that the diodes provide the highest quantum efficiency available from a silicon foundry.
