ElectroniCast Consultants, a leading market research & technology forecast consultancy addressing the fiber optics communications industry, today announced the release of a new forecast and analysis of the global consumption and technology trends of external modulators in optical fiber networks.
There are essentially two ways to modulate laser diodes: directly and indirectly (externally). In this research study, ElectroniCast provides a market forecast of the use of Electro-Optic (E-O) and Electroabsorption (EA) modulators.
The worldwide consumption value of external modulators in optical fiber communication networks is projected to reach $229 million this year. The consumption (use) of electro-optical (E-O) modulators is set to maintain the market leadership position over electroabsorption (EA) modulators throughout the forecast period. The years of coverage, in this report, are 2013-2018.
The data presented in the market forecast report details optical modulator use for the following transfer rate categories: less than (<) 10Gbps; 10Gbps to less than (<) 40Gbps; 40Gbps and higher. “The dramatic push for faster bit-rates and extended connectivity of data centers, residential, mobile smartphones, and smart network communications will eventually drive networks to incorporate optical interfaces beyond 100G,” said Stephen Montgomery, Director of the Fiber Optics Component Group at ElectroniCast.
According to the ElectroniCast study, the use of modulators with optical communication transmitters at rates of 10Gbps and higher (but under 40Gbps) is forecast to maintain the lead in relative market share throughout the 2013-2018 timeframe; however, the 40Gbps (and higher) category is forecast to increase at a faster annual pace and set to nearly catch-up in market share.
