June 5, 2009 -- VI Systems, a provider of optical components for data communications, will participate in the Eurostars "Optical Link" project, which aims to develop a new generation of ultra high bandwidth data communication interconnects for advanced applications, including USB 4.0 computer links and related interfaces, PCI Express upgrades, and other solutions for short-reach data transfer such as future HDMI cables for audio and video signals.
VI Systems will contribute to the project by developing singlemode vertical-cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) and photodetector technologies. The company will also integrate its optoelectronic devices with photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and SiGe-based BiCMOS ICs, assembling the components into fully packaged active optical cabling.
