Kotura Gets Win With Santur

Monterey Park-based Kotura, a developer of photonic components, disclosed this morning that the firm has been selected by tunable lasers firm Santur as a partner. Kotura said that Santur has partnered with the firm on a 100 Gb/s platform, and will be using Kotura's 10-channel optical multiplexer chips. Financial impact of the win was not disclosed. Kotura said by using its chips, Santur is eliminating the need for hundreds of discrete components and a dozen fibers in its design.
