Applied Technologies Incorporated Announces
the Introduction of Nanona™ Ultra-fast & Low-loss Optical Switch |
|
Woburn,
MA, November 06, 2007 -Boston Applied Technologies Incorporated
(BATi), a leading provider of high performance optical devices has
introduced its newest development - the Nanona™, an ultra-fast
fiber optical switch with a switching speed less than 50 ns. BATi's
Nanona optical switch is based on BATi proprietary OptoCeramicTM
technology; it adds one more device family to its product portfolio
on top of Eclipse™, Acrobat™ and Equinox™. The Nanona™
switch has no moving parts and organic materials, it has lower optical
insertion loss, much faster speed and more reliable switching compared
to competing optical switching technologies. The switches provide
solutions to managing fiber optic connections, monitoring optical
performance and sharing vital resources for a wide variety of applications
in telecommunication networks, defense/government, medical/bio-technology
and instrumentation industries. |
| A brief history on the naming of Nanona™ |
| The NANONA optical switch is primarily named after "onona," a composite word of ancient Balkan words "on" & "ona" that has similar meaning as the Chinese composite word "yinyang" (yin & yang), which in turn has a famous symbol often colored in black and white. The optical switch's two optical states, dark and bright, were first related to the symbol of yinyang, and later the word onona. It was then further revised to NANONA to include the new switch's feature of fast switching speed in NANO seconds. |
