InP Epitaxial Wafers beyond 2.0µm

Marktech Optoelectronics is now offering Indium Phosphide Epitaxial wafers up to 4 inches with wavelengths of 1.7µm 2.2µm and 2.6µm, ideally suited for high speed imaging, high speed HBT and HEMTs, APDs and analog-digital converter circuits. Applications using InP-based components can greatly exceed transmission rates in comparison to similar components structured on GaAs or SiGe based platforms.

Utilizing sophisticated MBE and MOCVD manufacturing processes in Epitaxial InP thin film growth, Marktech is now producing high reliability wafers on 2", 3" and 4" substrates. Demands continues to increase for higher transmission rate and longer wavelength components capable of exceeding today's commercially available products with speeds ranging up to 10Gbit/s. It is acknowledged that GaAs and SiGe based components have limitations in terms of speed. Devices based on an InP platform are capable of exceeding these transmission rate limitations, including the operating margin.

Due to the rapid increases in demand put on electronic communication equipment, it is vital to build communication systems that enable high speed and high volume signal processing. In order to process vast amounts of signals, wired communications such as fiber optics need to make continued advancements in time division multiplexing (TDM) and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) capabilities. In wired fiber optic communications, TDM rather than WDM electronic circuits make it possible to ease system building allowing for downsizing of the communication system, and therefore the costs associated. The development of ultra high speed electronic devices is the key to possibilities for the future of these changes.

Applications include high resolution imaging arrays, high capacity wireless communications, high data rate optical fiber systems, thin film solar panels and sub millimeter-wave spectroscopy.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
