We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Optical networking",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Small transceivers receive full tunability from
JDSU, which we summarised at the time by saying "JDSU's TOSA brings full band tunability to pluggable small form factor transceivers that previously only supported one to two wavelengths".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release GPON transceivers ease network construction from
NeoPhotonics: "NeoPhotonics' OLT and ONU devices offer a complete line of pluggable transceivers to GPON systems manufacturers".
In August 2007, we covered the news from MRC Components
concerning its CTS model 632
- take a look at Miniature oscillator reduces jitter
which says: "Quartz crystal based clock oscillator provides a small-footprint (3.2 x 2.5mm) solution for applications with tight real-estate constraints".
Take a look also at the news release from Micrel, Serdes supplies flexibility in optical networking,
as well as Interface chip brings carrier values to VoIP from Silicon Laboratories,
and Transceiver offers high-throughput connections from Fujitsu Components Europe.
