Only recently has he discovered lights ability to transmit vast quantities of information. Light is unique. Its behavior is very much like that of a high frequency electromagnetic wave, yet it also displays attributes common to particles. It has the ability to trig- ger interactions between electrons orbiting within mat- ter, and it is easy to generate, transmit and receive.With our understanding of these characteristics, and our advance- ments in electronics, weve begun to harness the enormous po- tential of light.Here are some examples: * Advancements in wavelength stability have led to the develop- ment of lasers with the power to transmit light hundreds of kilometers over optical fiber, without OE/EO conversion. * New wavelength multiplexing technology lets us transmit hun- dreds of terabits of information per second over a single optical fiber. * New visible light (red) laser diode storage/retrieval technology makes it possible to pack several gigabytes of data onto a single optical disc. * The optical coupling capabilities of photocouplers and OCMOS FETs (Solid State Relays) are used in hard-wired transmission systems to eliminate electrical noise from sources outside the system.Today, rapid advancements in optoelectronics parallel another phenomenon, the Internet. Its no wonder, since the Internet has given us the ability to share information instantly, with anyone, anywhere on earth. The volume of data thats generated, stored, processed and transmitted daily over the Internet is growing at an extremely rapid rate. NEC Electronics Corporation Compound Semiconductor Devices Divisions optoelectronic technology is helping to make this possible. Our optoelectronic semiconductor devices are at work in many of the transmission, exchange, branch- ing, collection and interface systems that make up the heart of the Internet. Were proud to be a participant in the creation of a new global information network. Were proud to be part of the new information age.Access SystemFTTH FP-LDPDLAN3Pamphlet PX10160EJ10V0PFContents Fiberoptic Devices. 6 Photocouplers . 14 OCMOS FETs (Solid State Relays). 16 Optical Storage Devices. 18 Opto-Electronics Devices Home Page. 19/FTTPTrunk Line SystemVisible Light LD /ReceptionTerminal SystemDFB-LD APDDVD/CD-ROMEDFAPUMP-LD4Pamphlet PX10160EJ10V0PFOptical Semiconductor Device Business Operations OverviewR a key device for both light-emitting devices and pickups.
