Interviewer: Nice to see you here. Could you please give us a little background to PowerNetix company?
記者:很高興在這兒能見到你。你能夠介紹一下PowerNetix公司的一些背景嗎?
Mr. Goel: PowerNetix (http://www.powerneticinc.com) is an independent and innovative provider of high-power laser pump modules in high speed optical telecommunications networks. Founded in October 2000, PowerNetix received its first round of venture financing in December 2000. Investors include Mustang Siemens Venture CapitalVentures, Azure Capital Partners, CairnCross Ventures and Star Ventures. The company ‘s management founding team included 4 persons. All of them worked together at Novalux Inc. prior to the founding of PowerNetix.
Goel先生:PowerNetix(http://www.powerneticinc.com)是一個獨立的,具有創(chuàng)新意識的,為高速光通信網絡提供高功率泵浦激光器的一家公司。公司成立于2000年10月,PowerNetix得到的第一筆風險投資是在2000年12月。投資者包括西門子風險投資公司,Azure 股東公司,CarnCross風險投資公司和Star風險投資公司。公司的創(chuàng)辦成員共有4個人。他們在創(chuàng)辦PowerNetix公司之前都在Novalux公司任職過。
Interviewer: What are the advantages of PowerNetix’s pump laser?
記者:PowerNetix公司的泵浦激光器有什么優(yōu)勢呢?
Mr. Goel:PowerNetix now have 3 kinds of 980nm pump laser. 9000 series single mode kink free 400 450mw pump laser, 3300 series coolerless kink free 200mw pump laser, 6600 series coolerless dual output 500mw laser. Our 6600 laser maybe the largest output coolerless pump module laser in the world. All of our lasers pump module passed Telcordia certification last monthin September 2002. Especially, PowerNetix has a proprietary manufacturing technology. We called it Uniline technology. It can reduce the high power pump manufacturing cost by 50% and increase the producing volume. Compared to many other pump laser manufactures, we are a pure pump laser module supplier. EDFA manufactures will do not fell feel uncomfortable with buying 980nm or other pumps from a 980nm pump suppliers who competes with them in EDFA business. competitor. Relationship with PowerNetix is in good interest of EDFA manufactures since our goal and business is to provide the best pumps to our customers.
Goel先生:我們公司有三種980納米的泵浦激光器,9000系列單模無彎折450毫瓦泵浦激光器,3300系列無致冷無彎折200毫瓦泵浦激光器,6600系列無致冷雙輸出500毫瓦激光器。我們的6600系列的激光器可能是至今世界上最大輸出功率的無致冷泵浦模塊,我們所有的泵浦模塊產品都在2002年9月通過Telcordia認證。尤其是PowerNetix公司自己的生產技術。我們把它稱之為Uniline技術。它能夠減少大功率泵浦激光器制造成本的50%,并且能夠增加產量。和許多其它的泵浦激光器制造廠家相比,我們公司是一家純粹的泵浦模塊產品供應商。EDFA制造廠家們將不會因為從競爭對手購買泵浦激光器而感到不舒服, PowerNetix的目標是為我們的顧客提供最好的泵浦激光器。
Interviewer: Can you explain more to your Uniline technology?
記者:您能夠把Uniline技術再詳細說明一下嗎?
Mr. Goel: it is an innovative packaging technology. Packaging accounts for 80% of the cost of a laser pump module. With the conventional manual approach to packaging, it is difficult to get the packaging right the first time. The first-pass success rate in industry is only less than around 60%. With Uniline, PowerNetix has taken a new mechanical design, bonding, and an automated approach to the packaging of laser pump modules. Uniline aligns and locks the fiber to the package in a single step, as compared to repeated steps of laser welding and solder reflow methods. it It also does not involves laser hammering or post weld shift adjustments processes that introduces long term instability into the module. heat or welding . Thanks to Uniline, PowerNetix can achieve throughtput throughput and first –pass success rates greater than 95% .
Goel先生:它是一個創(chuàng)新的封裝技術。封裝構成了一臺泵浦激光器的80%的成本。通常意義的傳統(tǒng)手工封裝,一次成功是非常困難的。一次成功的概率小于60%。通過Uniline技術,PowerNetix公司已經構造了一個新的包括機械結構,焊接以及自動封裝在內的泵浦激光器工藝流程。該技術只利用一步就完成封裝對齊并且把光纖鎖定。而且該不涉及激光錘打或者是焊接調整過程,從而提高了長期穩(wěn)定性。感謝Uniline技術,PowerNetix公司能夠取得一次通過率達95%以上的成績。
Interviewer: How do you think of the developing trend of pump laser?
記者:你認為泵浦激光器的發(fā)展方向是什么呢?
Mr. Goel: I think it is larger higher output and coolerless design.
Goel先生:我認為應該向更高的輸出和無致冷設計上發(fā)展。
Interviewer: What is the meaning of PowerNetix?
記者:PowerNetix的的字面意義是什么呢?
Mr. Goel: Powering the network’s information exchange. We think the world of future will be an information world. The most important of an information world is telecommunication and communication exchangeinfrastructures exchange - fiber optics, wireless, and others. We hope our pump laser can power this these exchanges.
Goel先生:給網絡信息交換以動力。我們認為,未來的世界是一個信息時代。在信息時代最重要的是包括光纖、無線等通訊系統(tǒng)。我們希望我們的泵浦激光器能夠給未來的通信網絡以能量。
Interviewer: How many times you have been to China? How do you think of the future of PowerNetix in China?
記者:您到過中國幾次?你如何看待PowerNetix公司將來在中國的發(fā)展?
Mr. Goel: I have come to China 3 times. We began to cooperate with Comstar after this year’s, 2002, OFC. Comestar is a very good co-operator. Now we have made great progress achieved great progress since then. Many EDFA manufactures in China territory have began to use show interest and use our products. I believe hope China has one of the most ambitious plan to make available latest communication services to it’s people and we are working with many key players in this country to offer them the best quality products and services can so that we can have great success with the people of China in the future.
Goel先生:我到過中國三次。今年OFC以后我們開始和Comstar公司的合作。Comestar是一個非常好的合作伙伴,F在,我們已經取得了很大的進步。因為現在許多中國區(qū)域的EDFA的制造廠家們開始對我們的產品感興趣并且用我們的產品。中國正致力于為中國人民提供最先進的通信服務。我們則致力于為中國的制造廠家提供最好質量的產品和服務,這樣我們才能在將來和中國人民一起取得更大的進步。
