光通信ネットワークは、音声、オーディオ、高速・低速データ、ビデオ、テレビ (インタラクティブな3D高解像度テレビを含む)、その他の特殊伝送を単一の統合インフラに統合します。

このインフラに含まれるのは、ビジネス向けERP (統合基幹業務) ソフトウェア、ユニファイドメッセージング、Webアシスト・コールセンター、各種中小企業向けインフラなどです。住宅向けには、スマートTV (インターネットベースTV)、クラウドベースのビデオオンデマンド (Netflix/Amazon)、eコマース、小規模オフィス/在宅勤務 (SOHO)、広告、医療モニタリング、高齢者ケア・モニタリング、育児モニタリング、ホームオフィス・セキュリティなどがあります。この調査期間中、ほとんどの既存通信はインターネットバックボーンの上に構築されます。この移行の理由は、需要に根ざしています。顧客は、より高速で、より多くの機能と信頼性を求めており、当然ながら「完璧な」サービス品質を期待しています。

平面導波路回路 (PWC) は平面光波回路 (PLC) とも呼ばれ、パッケージモジュールに多数のアクティブおよびパッシブ機能用途を組み込んでいます。長期的な動向として、ディスクリート回路 (単機能) ベースのPWC/PLCのシェアが拡大し、同等の性能を持つハイブリッド (多機能) プレーナーデバイスに取って代わられつつあります。

現在、スプリッター、可変光減衰器 (VOA)、アレイ導波路 (AWG) など、多くの光学機能が開発され、ディスクリート (単機能/モノリシック) 部品の集積化が行われています。PWC技術のパッケージングと集積光学の側面の組み合わせは、複数 (2つ以上) の機能を持つデバイス/モジュール (集積多機能デバイス) にとって魅力的で強力な技術を提供します。

より大量の光通信部品に対する需要が進化するにつれて、自動組立工程に適した技術が、競争力のある製造/コスト優位性を持つようになります。例えばシリコンウエハの使用は、商業用集積回路 (IC) 製造の大量生産技術を広範囲に利用しています。

複数の機能を持つ光ファイバー宅内受動光ネットワーク (FTTH/PON) 統合PLCは、大きな市場になる見込みがあります。バイプレクサは、アップストリーム1310nmとダウンストリーム1490nmの2つの波長を含むオールインワンのトランスポンダで、PONに必要な平面導波路技術に基づくエンドユースモジュールの1つです。また、一部のネットワークでは、ケーブルテレビのオーバーレイに1550nmの波長を使用するため、トリプレクサの必要性が生じています。

The information is presented in easy-to-follow illustrations and text. The reasons for the forecasted trends are discussed. The report also outlines the market research methodology followed and the key assumptions made. Terms, acronyms, and abbreviations used are defined. A list of selected optical fiber PLC splitter manufacturers and related companies is provided, along with a description of the types of PLC splitters and related technologies that they address. The technology trends of other pertinent fiber optic components and devices in the fiber optic marketplace are presented.

Optical communication networks combine voice, audio, data at high and low speeds, video, television (including interactive 3D high resolution television), and other specialized transmission into a single integrated infrastructure.

Included within the infrastructure is business Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, unified messaging, web-assisted call centers, and a variety of small-business infrastructures. Residential use includes smart-TV (Internet-based TV), cloud-based video on demand (Netflix/Amazon), e-commerce, small office/home office telecommuting, advertising, medical monitoring, elder care monitoring, childcare monitoring, home and office security. Most existing communications will be built upon an Internet backbone during the period of this study. Reasons for this transition are rooted in demand. The customers are demanding greater speed, more functionality and reliability, and naturally, they expect "perfect" quality of service.

Planar waveguide circuits (PWCs) also referred to as planar lightwave circuits (PLCs), incorporate numerous active and passive functional uses for packaged modules. The long-term trend is for a larger share of discrete-circuit (single-function) based PWCs/PLCs being displaced by equivalent performance hybrid (multiple-function) planar devices.

Many optical functions, such as splitters, variable optical attenuators (VOAs) and array waveguides (AWGs) are currently developed and implemented forming discrete (single function/monolithic) component integration. The combination of the packaging and integrated optics aspects of PWC technology provides for an attractive and powerful technology for devices/modules, which will hold multiple (two or more) functions (integrated multifunction devices); thereby, reducing size, weight, and cost versus larger, bulkier discrete devices/modules.

As the demand for larger quantities of optical communication components evolve, technologies, which are friendly to automation assembly processes, will have a competitive manufacturing/cost advantage. Use of silicon wafers, for example, draws extensively on the mass-production techniques of the commercial integrated circuit (IC) production whelm, since the fabrication of PWCs incorporates many of the same pieces of equipment and processes.

Fiber-to-the-Home passive optical networks (FTTH/PONs) integrated PLCs, with multiple functions, have promise for a sizable market. The biplexer is an all-in-one transponder that includes the two wavelengths, 1310nm upstream and 1490nm downstream, is one end-use modules based on planar waveguide technology that is required for PON. And some networks will use a 1550nm wavelength for a cable TV overlay, creating the need for triplexers.

INFORMATION BASE

This study is based on analysis of information obtained continually over 20 years but updated through the end of July 2024. During this period, ElectroniCast analysts performed interviews with authoritative and representative individuals in the fiber optics industry plus telecommunications, cable TV, private datacom, military/aerospace & other communication industries, instrumentation/ laboratory - R&D and factory/manufacturing, from the standpoint of both suppliers and users of planar waveguide circuits. The interviews were conducted principally with selected:

• Engineers, marketing personnel and management at manufacturers of fiber optic couplers/splitters, PON/FTTH components/devices, optical fiber, AWGs/optical waveguide and other components, cable assemblies, test/measurement equipment, Fiber optic connectors, mechanical splices splice and installation apparatus
• Design group leaders, engineers, marketing personnel and market planners at major users and potential users of optical communication devices, including passive optical devices and active/transceivers, such as telecommunication transmission, switching and distribution equipment producers, data communications equipment producers, harsh environment, military systems, aircraft and spacecraft electronic equipment producers, optical instrumentation system producers and others
• Other industry experts, including those focused on standards activities, trade associations, and investments.

The interviews covered issues of technology, R&D support, pricing, contract size, reliability, documentation, installation/maintenance crafts, standards, supplier competition and other topics.

Selected customers also were interviewed, to obtain their estimates of quantities received and average prices paid, as a crosscheck of selected vendor estimates. Customer estimates of historical and expected near term future growth of their application are obtained. Their views of the use of new technology products were obtained.

The analyst then considered customer expectations of near-term growth in their application, plus forecasted economic payback of investment, technology trends and changes in government regulations in each geographical region, to derive estimated growth rates of quantity and price of each product subset in each application. These forecasted growth rates are combined with the estimated baseline data to obtain the long-range forecasts at the lowest detailed level of each product and application.

A full review of published information was also performed to supplement information obtained through interviews. The following sources were reviewed:

• Professional technical journals and papers
• Trade press articles
• Technical conference proceedings
• Product literature; Company profile and financial information
• Additional information based on previous ElectroniCast studies
• Personal knowledge of the research team.
