company
Since its inception in 2000, TeraXion designs and manufactures state-of-the-art optical components and modules for high-speed fiber-optic transmission networks, fiber lasers and optical sensing applications.
TeraXion’s core competencies are the heritage of more than a decade of sustained innovation through proprietary fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and laser frequency control technologies. TeraXion’s ability to transform complex technologies into manufacturable high-technology products is unmatched: its 175 employees are devoted to innovation from R&D up to volume manufacturing.
Its line of chromatic dispersion compensation solutions includes Telcordia-qualified low-loss DCMs and small form factor tunable dispersion compensators for 10 and 40 Gb/s direct detection terrestrial and submarine networks.
For coherent detection systems, TeraXion offers chromatic dispersion emulators with very high levels of dispersion, tunable optical filters and tunable narrow linewidth lasers for applications at 100 Gb/s and above.
Diversification in the industrial and aerospace/military market segments is also part of TeraXion’s strategy. Customized filtering solutions based on advanced FBG technology are used as reflectors for fiber lasers, while narrow-linewidth semiconductor laser sources are perfect for optical sensing and RF photonic links applications.
More recently, TeraXion has taken the direction of photonic integration by adding silicon-on-insulator (SOI) product design and manufacturing to its mastered capabilities. This new technology platform opens the door for the development of new high-end products where size, power and performance are key requirements.
