Teloptics
TelOptics provides monolithic, low cost, high speed optical switch components using its patented field effect light transistor FELT* designs. This brings the quality improvements and efficiencies of planar processing technology to optical switching components. The FELT designs are ultra-compact, with 100 micron switching elements, and integrate into production-proven silica on silicon waveguide wafers. This results in a small die size, and thus large cost savings and reduced component footprint when compared with conventional MEMs and thermo-optic designs. The electro-optic operation of FELT designs enables nanosecond switching speeds and low power consumption. TelOptics' strategy is to operate as a fab-less component manufacturer using world class optical foundries.
