The US telecomms equipment maker Lucent Technologies has launched a new venture - called AraLight Inc - that will design and manufacture high-bandwidth, ultra-dense optoelectronic modules for use by manufacturers of Internet infrastructure equipment.

Using technology from Lucent's research and development arm Bell Labs, the New Jersey-based AraLight intends to create devices that enable Internet equipment suppliers to build terabit systems with only one-tenth the size and power consumption of present optoelectronic switching systems.

The new company says that it has already tested in its labs devices with over 500Gb/s of data throughput on a single chip module.
