Vancouver, WA -- January 9, 2003 -- Kyocera today introduced two new TO-header surface mountable 10Gbps packages for VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser), laser diode and photo diode applications. As bandwidth demand and network traffic continue to grow, telecommunication carriers are upgrading their systems from 2.5Gbps to higher-speed 10Gbps technology to keep pace with the demand. Kyocera, a leader in both ceramic multi-layer and glass-to-metal technologies, developed the 10Gbps packages as a cost-effective solution to address the need for higher-speed technology required to address the bandwidth issue.
The multi-layer ceramic 10Gbps package features 3-dimensional wiring using stacked vias, which allows for an intricate electrical path within a small footprint. The high-frequency wiring features a coplanar waveguide structure to facilitate superior high-speed transmission from the pad of the optical device to the printed circuit board.
 The glass-to-metal 10Gbps package features hermetic glass technology capable of withstanding high frequencies and external pins protected by a coaxial structure metal casing for excellent impedance matching and stability.
Kyocera's diversified fiber-optic package manufacturing process and high-frequency design technology supports a wide range of custom solutions incorporating ceramic or glass-to-metal construction.
The company's fiber-optic packaging products are marketed in North America by Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corporation.
