Oyster Optics is a research, development, engineering and licensing company focused on the development of leading edge fiber optic technologies. With a history of innovation in government, commercial, security, and broad-band applications, Oyster Optics has focused its resources on developing core optical technologies based on the needs of tomorrow.
Oyster Optics owns the most significant patent portfolio related to 40G + 100G fiber optic transmission not owned by major industry participants or their suppliers. The patents cover many different 40G + 100G solutions and are of particular relevance to Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK), Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK), and related technologies. In certain long-haul applications, such as high-margin subsea transmission over fiber, DPSK and DQPSK are the only technical solutions that allow for reliable 40G + 100G transmission. Oyster Optics has successfully litigated and licensed several of its patents, and offers licenses for certain fields of use.
