STERLING, Va., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- 4Wave, Inc., a thin film deposition development company, has been awarded a $1.97 million grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Advanced Technology Program (ATP) to develop a four-channel miniature optical filter chip. The chip will be a coarse wave division multiplexer (CWDM) for use in 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceivers. Development includes the continued innovation of a thin film deposition technique called Biased Target Ion Beam Deposition (BTIBD).
"We are very encouraged by the ATP grant," said Trey Middleton, 4Wave's Vice President of Business Development. "The BTIBD technique and the ...
