EFFECT Photonics

EFFECT Photonics develops products for fiber-optic communication systems based on Photonic Integrated Circuit technology. The company is currently developing several DWDM products for access and metro networks. As a spin out of the prestigious Technical University of Eindhoven, EFFECT Photonics takes a platform approach to integration using high-yielding building blocks within the wafer. Growing different quaternary alloys of Indium Phosphide on a single wafer means that all of the active and passive optical functions of a system can be created within a single chip, which is then combined with simple packaging, designed for high-volume, low-cost manufacture from the very start.
