EMCORE Corporation to Host Live Demonstration of Tunable XFP Technology at OFC 2011

Date Announced: 08 Mar 2011

Fourth-generation technology is now in pilot production.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM--(Marketwire - 03/08/11) - EMCORE Corporation (NASDAQ:EMKR - News), a leading provider of compound semiconductor-based components and subsystems for the fiber optic and solar power markets, today announced that it will demonstrate its new tunable XFP product at the OFC / NFOEC conference in Los Angeles, California beginning on March 8-10, 2011.

At booth 2125, EMCORE invites you to view a demonstration of tunable XFP technology (TXFP) based on EMCORE's patented ClearLight external cavity laser platform. EMCORE is currently shipping pilot production quantities of the TXFP, and is ramping domestic and off-shore production.

"EMCORE's TXFP was designed with the goal of enabling our customers to dramatically reduce size, power consumption, and operating expenses thus replacing legacy 300-pin transponders," stated Dr. Hong Q. Hou, EMCORE's Chief Executive Officer. "Our TXFP offers industry-leading performance with both negative and zero chirp options." The TXFP incorporates the fourth generation of EMCORE's external cavity laser technology, deployed in worldwide fiber networks since 2004.
