Phase I

Contract Number: N00178-96-C-3058
Start Date: 7/1/96    Completed: 1/1/97
Phase I year
1996
Phase I Amount
$60,000
Arroyo Optics has developed an add/drop filter for wavelength division multiplexing which is expected to exhibit the following exemplary characteristics: high routing efficiency (99%), zero loss (< 0.1 dB), high rejection (< -50 dB), narrow bandwidth (1 nm) and low crosstalk (< -30 dB). This device paves the way for developing an entirely new class of optical components critical to high speed WDM networks. In this Phase I program, we propose to fabricate a prototype add/drop filter for high speed networks based on our proprietary technology.

Phase II

Contract Number: DASG60-97-C-0069
Start Date: 4/9/97    Completed: 7/14/99
Phase II year
1997
Phase II Amount
$749,645
Arroyo Optics has developed an add/drop filter for wavelength division multiplexing which is expected to exhibit the following exemplary characteristics: high routing efficiency (> 99%), zero loss (< 0.1 dB), high rejection (<-50 dB), narrow bandwidth (< 1 nm) and low crosstalk (< -30 dB). This device paves the way for an entirely new class of optical components for high speed WDM networks. In this Phase II program, we propose to develop and fabricate commercially viable add/drop filter prototypes for high speed optical networks based on our proprietary, grating assisted mode coupler technology.
