ABINGDON, U.K., March 7, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Engineers from Bookham Technology plc (LSE:BHM) (Nasdaq: BKHM) and Cambridge University Department of Engineering will present, at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition in March 2003, the industry's first description of a directly modulated DFB laser that combines ultrawide bandwidth with very high linearity over the wide temperature range of 25*C-85*C, but without cooling. Such devices are crucial to the realisation of the direct transport of analogue microwave/RF signals over fibre for inbuilding distributed antenna systems in cellular networks and for the burgeoning market in wireless LANs, such as the IEEE 802.11-series standards and HiperLAN.
