Finisar WaveShaper S/X Product Demonstration at ECOC 2011

Visit Finisar at CIOE 2011

Finisar is excited to exhibit at the 13th annual CIOE tradeshow expo in Shenzhen, China next week, September 6-9. Be sure to visit Finisar booth #T266 as we will display equipment from our wide portfolio of optical communication products including transceivers, transponders, wavelength selective switches, advanced optical components, and passive devices. We are also planning a live demonstration on the tradeshow floor of our WaveShaper 4000S, a multiport optical processor for system test applications such as pulse generation and shaping, optical component emulation, and DWDM system testing.

We hope to see you there!

Finisar Australia, oh so nice!

As you may have read recently, Finisar is now the number 1 WSS/ROADM supplier globally, with a particular strength in high-performance WSS for 50GHz channel spacing. As I discussed in my last post the flexibility of our core LCoS technology means that we’re extremely well positioned to meet the needs of upcoming flex-grid architectures for 100G and above transmission. Our WaveShaper product range is also expanding – again driven strongly by the growth in advanced modulation formats and coherent systems but also by expansion into other markets including microwave photonics and laser pulse manipulation.

To support all this growth, we’re expanding our engineering and R&D teams here in Sydney and are looking to hire a whole lot more engineers and scientists. We’re looking for people with a range of skills, including opto-mechanical engineers, software engineers, optical designers and high-speed electronics whizzes as well as manufacturing and process engineers to support the manufacturing ramp that comes with a growing market share in a rapidly-expanding market.

Sydney is a tremendously cosmopolitan city (heck, we’ve even got Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson curating a city-wide arts festival this month) with a great, year-round lifestyle and (particularly important for me these days) great food and wine…

Our facility is located in Waterloo, only 10 minutes to the heart of the city, with thriving local arts and restaurant scene and good access by road and public transport. We provide competitive salaries and full relocation packages. If you’re interested, check out this page or contact theodora.liosatis@finisar.com.

WaveShaper Coming to CLEO

Come one, come all! For those of you planning to attend CLEO/IQEC next week at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, we invite you to visit Finisar booth #1218. From May 18-20, our illustrious technical team, including our staff from down under, will be on-hand to demonstrate the WaveShaper family of Programmable Optical Processors. Based on high-resolution Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) technology, the WaveShaper processors provide extremely fine control of filter amplitude and phase characteristics, making them ideal for a range of pulse-shaping and optical signal processing applications.

See you at the show!
