SANTA BARBARA, Calif., PARIS and ABINGDON, U.K., Nov. 26, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Agility Communications, Alcatel Optronics and Bookham Technology (Nasdaq:BKHM) (LSE:BHM), all leading providers of tunable lasers, today announced a major multi-source agreement (MSA) for tunable laser sources. This agreement sets a new industry standard for tunable lasers, which will be met by all three founding members. It defines a small form factor plug-in sub-system, including a tunable continuous wave (CW) laser with embedded electronics that allows automatic wavelength setting and locking. Covering the C and L-bands, these standardized products are dedicated to core DWDM applications. Each of the MSA founding companies will separately develop and market fully compatible tunable sources, providing to customers greater security of supply while lowering costs.
