Samples of CST Global’s 1270nm 2.5Gb/s lasers have shown eye mask margins of 34 per cent and extinction ratios up to 9.3dB.
A project designed to scale-up novel compound semiconductor device fabrication processes has received European funding.
BLANTYRE, SCOTLAND – Sivers IMA Holdings AB confirms that its wholly-owned subsidiary, CST Global, UK’s leading, independent, III-V opto-electronic, semiconductor foundry, has signed a Master Purchase Agreement (MPA) with a large, North American-based, global provider of network systems. CST Global is to supply opto-electronic devices, essential for the deployment of next-generation, cloud, data-centre and Hyperscale data centre applications.
According to Cisco® Global Cloud Index, Hyperscale data centres will grow from 259 in number at the end of 2015 to 485 by 2020.
Semiconductor foundry CST Global is leading a UK government-funded project that could substantially reduce the cost of manufacturing high-speed laser diodes for next-generation fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks.
The market for passive optical networks (PON) is expanding rapidly as consumers upgrade their broadband connections to higher speeds. Indeed, this summer, CST Global said it had shipped more than 25 million lasers into PON markets worldwide. To meet the insatiable demand for bandwidth, the next generation of PON lasers will need to be both higher speed and lower cost.
The Winter edition of Fibre Systems dispelled some myths when it comes to multimode fibre, and looked at the opportunities it currently presents to the data centre market.

The Covid-19 pandemic has and continues to affect every-day life throughout the world. In the optical communications industry, the first obvious signs were when events began to postpone, cancel and reschedule.
After more than a decade’s work, the prospect of full quantum networks exploiting entangled photons is drawing closer. That’s thanks to the work of researchers like Hee Su Park from the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS).
