EMCORE's Broadband Fiber Optic Components serve a wide variety of applications from transmission of analog signals for video, voice and data to ultra-high powered optical signal transport. Our lasers utilize "ORTEL Technology" - A Symbol of Excellence. Founded in 1980 by three scientists from the California Institute of Technology, ORTEL Corporation pioneered the development of high performance lasers, RF electronics and system technologies that drove the wide scale deployment of linear fiber optics in commercial cable TV networks, satellite earth stations, mobile phone antenna sites and military systems. Throughout the years, “ORTEL Technology” has grown to symbolize the highest quality in linear and high-speed photonics.
