Amplitude Systemes Named International
Company of the YearAmplitudes Systmes
and its CEO, Eric Mottay,
received the award for
the InternationalCompany, South West
region, from Ernst &
Young and 'l'Express'
magazine.
The Entrepreneur of the Year is a prestigious award,
created in 1986 and running in more than 140

IREC (Catalunya Institute for Energy Research)Involved in LED4ART
The illumination of art
certainly belongs to one
of the most ambitious
tasks in interior lighting
with respect to
requirements towards
the light quality. Thus in
many museums today,
the existing lighting
installations lack energy efficiency as it is consideredless important compared to lighting quality or
design. In this pilot project a consortium of 6
partners, including EPIC member IREC, from 5
countries plan to demonstrate and prove that both,
a superior light quality and high energy efficiency,
can be realized. This goal will be reached by
replacing the existing illumination system of the
Sistine Chapelby latest LED illumination systems
developed especially for art.www.led4art.eu
ficonTEC now provides a thermocompressiondie bonder as well as a semi-automatic table-
top die bonder
The number of upcoming applications in the broad
area of micro assembly tasks which are or need to
be automated is rapidly increasing. Within, the
larger variety of handled components, bond
materials, and most importantly assembly processes
call for new and innovative tools. To serve that
demand ficonTEC released two brand new products.
The BL100 is a eutectic die bonder which expands
ficonTEC's die bonder product family to the more
manually operated side. The table-top BL100 utilizes
a split optic and semi-automated subroutines for
the operator to manually adjust while reaching high
precision thermal bonds. The die bonder is the ideal
tool for lower throughput productions or for R&D.

Innolume announces next generation of
Quantum Dot based LD-12XX-series laser
diodeKeeping output characteristics the same - 350mW
kink-free output power and Fiber Bragg Grating
stabilized spectrum in 1180nm up to 1270nm
wavelength range, new LD-12XX-series lasers has
substantially improved wall-plug efficiency.
The main differentiation compared to the previous
generation is a higher operating temperature of the
laser chip which allowed shifting the maximum ofwall-plug efficiency to higher environment
temperatures. As a result, the wall-plug efficiency of
the butterfly packaged laser including TEC (thermo-
electric cooler) exceeds 16% at 40C case
temperature which is typical for the environment in
PON equipment racks and by that leading to a
significant reduction of power consumption.
This optimization supports our customers in further
improving of their products already introduced to
the market, says Guido Vogel, Managing Director
of Innolume, and by that bring even more benefitsof Raman based GPON Reach Extension to network
operators compared to conventional Reach
Extenders based on Semiconductor Optical
Amplifiers (SOA).www.innolume.com

Analysis and Study - Value Chain Mapping of
EPIC membersThis report has been written by Thierry Robin and
Jacques Cochard of Tematys Consulting with the
goal of mapping EPIC members positioning and
statistical analysis of EPIC members.
Worldwide Market Statistic DataEvery year the International Optoelectronics
Association meets to share market data for
photonics from Asia, North America and Europe.
The result is an unusually complete view of
photonics commercial markets world-wide. Reports
from Japan and Taiwan underlined the slow-down
due to the flat-panel display market that drives
photonics activities in Asia. Contact us to receive
the presentations which all contain valuableintelligence! Material from Canada, Europe,
Germany, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, UK , USA.
LED Manufacturing and Market ReportThis report has been written by YOLE
Dveloppement with the help of EPIC members and
presents a detailed analysis of front-end LED
manufacturing processes, equipment and design
trends. Each report contains over 300 slides of
valuable and up-to-date data.
The LED report are available to EPIC members as
part of their membership benefits.
Photovoltaic ReportPhotovoltaic industry revenues reached a record
$US 93 billion in 2011, a 13.4% increase over $US 82
billion in 2010, and a 150% increase over revenues
in 2009. World-wide, 27.4 Gwatts of PV were
installed, bringing cumulative PV electricalgeneration capacity to 68 Gwatts at the end of
2011. Our data show that installations grew by 56%
compared to 2010. Europe remains the leader for
deployment, accounting for more than 63% of the
PV installations world-wide. These percentage
figures are lower than those for 2010, and they
indicate the growing importance of PV markets
outside of Europe, and in particular in China.
For the first time ever, more PV generating power
was installed in Europe than any other energy
source, surpassing both natural gas and windturbine generation.
In terms of production, inventories at the end of
2011 amounted to less than 1 month. Our figure ofmerit, (the ratio of total sector revenues to installed
PV generation capacity) for 2011 improved
significantly to US$3.53 per watt by 24% compared
to US$4.6 per watt in 2010. PV production volume is
now dominated by manufacturing in Asia where
China and Taiwan now account for about 74% of the
world supply. Production by European companies
declined sharply in 2011 to less that 6% of the
global total.
The EPIC Photovoltaic Report is is available to EPICmembers as part of their membership benefits.
17th meeting of the International Optoelectronics
Association in Yokohama. The next meeting will take place in
Brussels in conjunction with EPICs 10th Anniversary event
on 13 December 2013.
More than 40 Gwatts of new electrical energy installations were
completed in Europe in 2011. Photovoltaic power was the leading
product. Renewables account for 67% of the total mix.

EPIC and the IBBT of Ghent University presented the
Symposium on Energy Consumption of the Internet
at ECOC 2012. The presentations and panel
discussion quantified the energy footprint of
different components of the network: local access,
core networks, data centers and user equipment.
Electrical power consumption is not directly
proportional to the level of traffic. While traffic
growth is increasing at the current time at about
40% per year, electrical power consumption is rising
at a rate of about 9% per year, according to a study
presented by Mario Pickavet of IBBT. Electrical
power resources, however are increasing at a far
smaller rate, about 3% per year. At the present
time, the internet consumes about 5% of world
electricity generation. Paolo Frankl, director of
renewable energies at the International Energy
Agency emphasised the need to develop new
green energy sources in the electricity mix, noting
that more photovoltaic power was installed in
Europe in 2011 than from any other source.
Presentations from systems provider Ericsson and
network operator France Telecom described efforts
to lower energy consumption through installation of
systems that can be dynamically reconfigured,
allowing some parts of the network to be shut down
during lower traffic periods. Early retirement of
legacy equipment will also accelerate reductions inconsumption. Results from the Eu project TREND
(http://www.fp7-trend.eu) showed that the
electrical consumption of the core network is
dependent on the level of traffic, and this would be
the best place to implement such innovations. The
access network power consumption, on the other
hand is not as strongly affected by the level of
traffic. Peter Vetter presented the Green Touch
consortium which has been formed by Alcatel-
Lucent to focus on energy-saving strategies.
During the panel discussion, it was learned that
figures from energy consumption due to datacentertraffic are probably understated, because most of
the available data predate the explosive growth in
cloud-computing and video transmission. However,
based on current trends, the power consumption of
the internet should rise from 5% of total resources
today to 8% of total electrical power generation by
2020.

The exhibition at the European Conference on
Optical Communications took place in Amsterdam
17-19 September 2012. Participation was up from
last year with 329 companies and organisations
making up the show. Twelve EPIC member
companies exhibited new products and services:Aifotec, Fiber Optics, Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-
Institut, Innolume, Oclaro, OpticsValley, Photonics
Bretagne, 3S Photonics, Time-Bandwidth Products,
u2t Photonics, Vertilas, and Yenista Optics. More
than 5500 people visited the exhibition over the 3-
day period.
Yenista Optics presented
new tuneable lasers and
filters The TUNICS high-
power T100S-HP/CL laser
provides an outputpower of at least 10 dBm
over the whole tuning
range from 1500 to 1630
nm. The demo by
Etienne Decerle that I
saw was doing quite a
bit better. It guarantees a signal to source
spontaneous emission ratio (SSSER) higher than 90
dB. Important innovations in the lasers external
cavity design have been implemented, enabling
significant increase in the output power andstability without any compromise on other
specifications.
Yenistas XTM-50/W and XTA-50/W wide
bandwidth filters increase the maximum achievable
bandwidth to 3 nm. The bandwidth is adjustable
from 50 pm (6.25 GHz) to 3000 pm (375 GHz) with
very sharp filter edges (500 dB/nm). The filters
cover the 1520 to 1570 nm wavelength range and
have an insertion loss of less than 5 dB in
combination with a top flatness of 0.2 dB.
The Fraunhofer HHI
team demonstrated a
hybrid InP-polymer
tuneable DBR laser. The
DBR tunes 34 nm across
the C-band using a
thermally tuneable
polymer grating.
Output power is larger
than 8 mW. Direct
modulation at 10 Gbit/s
shows an open eye diagram. The hybrid laser
consists of a curved-stripe InP-based gain chip and a
waveguide integrated thermo-optically tuneable
polymer Bragg grating using HHIs PolyBoard
integration platform.
The Market Focus
sessions, sponsored by
Oclaro with 1700 people
attending the seminar
series. Presentations
from HHI on photonic
integration and from
Oclaro on solutions for
100 Gbit/s transmission
were among the highlights. Oclaro used the
occasion to introduce its new logo, following the
merger with Opnext on their stand which was the
centrepiece for the ECOC Show.
There was a significant
presence of companies
from China in the
exhibition. Overall about
15% of the exhibition
represented Asia-based
companies. The
products on display in
the Chinese Pavillion are
both more complex and cover a wider range of
functionality that those proposed in previous years.The organisation under a national banner gave a
new dimension to these offerings.
