CPAC has the exclusive rights to technology that utilizes wide-bandgap optical switches to facilitate the direct conversion of a light signal into a RF signal. The ability to generate a RF from an optical switch is not a new phenomenon. However, the ability to control and modulate that RF very rapidly and, when necessary, with extreme voltages, and under extreme conditions is new. Also, the ability to exercise this control over the RF remotely or via algorithm over a very broad spectrum of frequencies is new and may enable advanced electronics in many fields.
CPAC’s proprietary technology allows for the modulation of the RF signal that is emitted from a semiconductor substrate so that the RF signal can be adjusted very rapidly. Our method of modulating the device can be done remotely via a computer linked to the device by adjusting the light used to trigger the device.
There are several examples of the use of our technology in the telecommunications industry but the technology also has compelling applications for numerous other industries because it is comprised of a basic and critical functionality for controlling radio frequency signals in a flexible and robust way.
Our proprietary technology may greatly increase the security, flexibility, and bandwidth of wireless communications. CPAC’s technology can directly convert light-based (fiber optic) to radio-frequency (RF) signals, which eliminates multiple steps in the process of converting such signals and permits a much greater bandwidth and flexibility than existing technologies. This can be accomplished in an extremely small, but highly reliable package. In addition to being a simpler device, it may also free carriers from the limitations of tuned circuits by allowing transmission across a very wide range of frequencies from a single, compact device. We can operate across frequencies from 100mhz -1ghz, and possibly higher.
