About Us
Bandwidth 10 is bringing revolutionary wavelength tunable Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology to the market, delivering cost-effective tunable solutions that are out of reach with conventional technologies. The company’s VCSELs range in wavelength from 720 to 1700 nm for data communications, FBG interrogators, LIDAR, swept sources and many other applications. With a leading edge tunable VCSEL design, optoelectronic packaging and control electronics teams, the company offers complete solutions with the laser ranging from TO, TOSA and pigtailed-TOSA packages to SFP+ transceivers and control electronics.
Bandwidth 10 was founded in February 2011 by a team out of the University of California, Berkeley and industry veterans and has been shipping products since 2014.
The company has a family of tunable DWDM SFP+ transceivers running at speeds from 1 Gbps (Gigabit per second) to 10 Gbps. The transceivers are designed for low cost Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) systems for wireless, access, and fiber-to-the-home/office/etc. applications. The company also has a widely tunable swept source product for optical coherency tomography (OCT) and other sensor applications, now available at 1060 nm. Bandwidth 10 provides cost-effective, tunable optical devices featuring small sizes, low power consumption, and built-in wavelength stabilization.

Technology
Bandwidth 10’s innovative High Contrast Grating (HCG) VCSEL technology was developed by the company’s founders while at the University of California, Berkeley. The High Contrast Grating is a new concept for the top mirror in a VCSEL. The HCG (see right) is a single layer, nanometer-scale grating made of a high index material with a sub-wavelength period, which exhibits a much broader reflection band than a conventional DBR.
Using the HCG as a tunable mirror, as shown below, allows for a wafer-scale, low-cost fabrication process for Bandwidth 10’s long-wavelength 1550 nm, single mode VCSEL transceivers and 1050 nm swept source VCSELs.
