Optoplex Corporation announces its DI Series product line, a differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) demodulator designed specifically for next generation optical telecommunication systems utilized in commercial, defense and space exploration markets. Optoplex's DI Series DPSK demodulator improves signal quality and performance to meet the expanding demand for higher and more complex data rate transmissions within current and next generation systems without major capital expenditure (CAPEX).

Optoplex's DI Series demodulator is a cost-effective solution for eliminating digital signal degradation along a fiber-optic transmission system. Until now, the ever increasing demand for higher data rate communications within a fiber-optic network has been limited by the deterioration or distortion of a signal's quality with increasing data rate. With Optoplex's DI family of products, signals in the fiber can be transmitted at ever increasing speeds while maintaining signal integrity. Optoplex's DI Series demodulator requires no thermal electrical cooling (TEC) to maintain an optimal operating temperature, allowing for fewer components and minimal, to no power consumption.

eatures of Optoplex's DI Series demodulator include: C-band and L-band coverage by a single device; transmission rates in the range 2.5 to 160 Gb/s; low temperature-dependent frequency shift (TDFS) of less than ±0.75 GHz; low polarization-dependent frequency shift (PDFS) of less than ±10 MHz for a 40 Gb/s device; stability against vibration; low power consumption of less than 1.5 watts (at peak tuning); and operating temperature of -20°C to +85°C.
