Research |
| |
| Research is how we started. Should you require research to be conducted
to prove or substantiate a theory or determine marketplace acceptance-
we can help. The following services are offered under research: |
|
- Theoretical-based research (study-related)
- Experiment-based research (laboratory-related)
- Competition, Market research (business-related)

CASE STUDY |
| |
| Substantiate the Theory of an Auto-Correcting Fiberoptic Interface and Definition of The Marketplace |
| |
Challenge |
| |
| A top 10 telecommunications provider required an independent, third party review and substantiation of the theory of an auto-correcting fiberoptic interface that can compensate to reduce insertion losses in a fiberoptic communications network. Statistical modeling (in both technical and operations performance) of the effects of such a technology on the telecom marketplace was required as well. |
| |
Solution |
| |
| The Photonics Group reviewed and revised the client's theory, and then created a physical working Alpha level prototype using planar piezoelectric film elements fused with photostrictive optical components which the original theory did not include. Statistical modeling proved not only an order of magnitude of throughput (network-wide), but provided substantially increased operational margins. |
| |
Conclusion |
| |
| The project schedule defined a 90-day timeline. The Photonics Group completed the project within 60 days, from review of presented theory to research, and development of newly revised (and physically tested) theory. The statistical modeling met an extended 30 day deadline. The Photonics Group completed this entire project at slightly below the budget allocated. As a direct result of our efforts, the technology was fully funded, developed, and deployed-system-wide. |
