SQS Vlaknova optika is going to attend Optical Communications 2011 - the conference and exhibition held in Prague, Czech Republic from October 20 to 21. In addition to product presentation at the exhibition, which takes place only on the first day of the event (i.e. October 20), SQS will have its representation also in the conference program itself. Tomas Radobersky will be presenting his lecture on "Athermal Arrayed Waveguide Grating Multiplexers” that had successfully passed the selection of the conference program committee, and was included in the Application and Technical Section of the Conference. Another SQS representative at the conference of Optical Communication 2011 will be Ondrej Barkman as speaker in the science section of the conference with his lecture "Design and Modeling of the Single Mode Optical Glass Waveguides for Passive Photonics Structures” on results of the SQS research project solved in cooperation with Czech Technical University – Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and Institute of Chemical Technology of Prague.

Between September 19 and 21 SQS will be presenting its products and services at the ECOC trade fair in Geneva, Switzerland. Besides, at the ECOC conference, we will present results of our part in Daphne project – an international project on development of optical network for airplanes. The presentation will feature testing results of temperature cycling and vibration of PLC 1x2 and 1x12 planer splitters in plastic as well as metal housing developed for RTCA DO 160E(D) standard. Further we will show results from testing of breakouts (FO boxes) in metal housing facilitating transition from 12 strand ribbon cable to 900um PTFA tubing. Further we will show vibrational effect of front plane and backplane PON distribution boxes onto the virtual optical channels transmitting a movie between OLT and ONT. We will also mention result from parallel transmission of digital and analog signals over the PON network. ECOC – the European conference on optical communications is Europe's largest event of the optical communication industry, and a traditional meeting place for people dealing with fiber optics and communication technologies for optical networks. Among its participants, there are both representatives of organizations involved in research, development or education, and representatives of companies operating in the sector of fiber optics and communications technologies, including manufacturers and distributors of optical products and providers of communications services. 37th ECOC will be held in Hall 1 at the Palexpo Exhibition in Geneva - please accept our invitation to our stand No. 1851, where we would be pleased to welcome you (see the enclosed invitation).

3. odborná konference FTTH OSTRAVA 2011 na téma „Výstavba sítí FTTH - optické vlákno až do domu“ se koná 8. a 9. 9. 2011 v areálu VŠB Ostrava. Účastníci konference se rekrutují především z řad dodavatelů pasivních a aktivních optických komponentů, měřicí techniky, zařízení pro výstavbu sítí, montážních firem, telekomunikačních operátorů, stavebních společností a developerů. Konference se pravidelně účastní také zástupci městských úřadů, grantoví partneři pro výstavbu sítí FTTH a v neposlední řádě také pracovníci státních a vzdělávacích institucí. Tradičním účastníkem je také SQS Vláknová optika, která zde kromě svých produktů na doprovodné výstavě, bude v rámci odborných přednášek prezentovat nově vyvíjené pasivní vlnové odbočnice s teplotní kompenzací AAWG.

After several years of operation of the current website, we decided to substantially upgrade our web presentation. Creating a new website was necessary mainly due to the modernization of the source code by using new technologies such as XHTML, PHP, CSS, Flash and many others. Lightening the source code and use of these technologies will help speed up loading pages and their dynamic processing. The new system will also significantly contribute to the improvement and simplification of administration. The website has undergone a fundamental variation in the structure achieving a substantial simplification, streamlining and maximum user friendliness. We tried everything set up so that we have helped in particular our current and potential future customers to better orientation on the website and get the necessary information efficiently. Another very important reason for upgrading a SEO optimization, thus improving the accessibility of our Web pages for search engines so that our new website was the friendliest in search engines and we were more visible. We firmly believe and hope that our new website will attract many customers who will be happy to return to our website and to our company.

Between May 23 and May 26 SQS takes part at Laser the World of Photonics international trade fair in Munich. The LASER World of PHOTONICS trade fair and their congresses are the most important marketplaces and think tanks for the worldwide laser and photonics industry and its users. They also combine research and applications, and promote the use and further development of optical technologies. The congress is held in conjunction with LASER World of PHOTONICS, the international trade fair for optical technologies including components, systems and applications, so there it fosters an intense exchange between the scientific and industrial sectors. Themes are selected and discussed based on their scientific relevance and industrial impact. At Laser 2011, SQS will present a complete range of products with an emphasis on the use of our components for non-telecommunication applications. We will also be exhibiting solutions and systems by our partner company Alio Industries - electronic positioning systems for precise positioning of up to six axes that are currently being widely used in laser applications. Among other things on our stand, there will be possible to see a sample of functional tripod connected to the control unit and demonstrating its skills, precision, quality, performance and mechanical strength in practice. If you are interested in laser technology and optical technologies generally, certainly visit the Laser 2011 trade fair - we will be pleased to welcome you on our booth 254 in hall B2 - see the attached invitation.

15. – 16. 5. 2011 se koná tradiční dvoudenní seminář Měření a údržba sdělovacích kabelů zaměřený na informace o sdělovacích kabelech, kabelových souborech pro sdělovací kabely, aplikacích, měřících metodách a zařízeních pro výstavbu, provoz a údržbu sdělovacích kabelů. Místo konání je však netradiční – českobudějovický hotel Gomel nahradí hotel Dvořák v Táboře. Tradičním každoročním účastníkem Cablexu, jak se seminář běžně nazývá, je také SQS Vláknová optika. Tradiční zůstává i naše silné zastoupení na této akci, a to jak za pultem pro přednášející a na místech pro posluchače v přednáškovém sále, tak v přísálí, kde se koná výstavka produktů zúčastněných firem. Za přednáškovým pultem vystoupí Tomáš Radoberský s přednáškou „Atermální vlnové odbočnice“. Jedná se o nový vývojový projekt SQS, jehož cílem je zvládnutí výroby vlnových multiplexorů/demultiplexorů na bázi planární technologie AWG. Hlavním úkolem řešení SQS je návrh pasivní teplotní kompenzace, aby výsledná součástka nevyžadovala žádný zdroj napájení elektrickou energií a byla schopna fungovat v širokém rozsahu teplot. Na souběžně konané výstavě budeme prezentovat náš tradiční sortiment včetně několika novinek. Chystáte-li se do Tábora, rádi se s Vámi setkáme.

29. 3. - 1. 4. se SQS zúčastní tradičního mezinárodního veletrhu Ampér, který z pražského výstaviště v Letňanech přesídlil na Výstaviště do Brna. Od přestěhování akce do Brna si organizátoři slibují zvýšení kvalitativní úrovně a dostupnosti veletrhu, a s tím také zvýšení zájmu vystavovatelů i návštěvníků. SQS zde bude prezentovat kompletní řadu vlastních produktů vláknové optiky pro telekomunikační i ne-telekomunikační aplikace včetně řešení vhodných pro využití v náročných průmyslových podmínkách. Rádi Vás na našem stánku č. 012 v hale G1 přivítáme – viz přiložená pozvánka.

SQS Vlaknova optika wishes its customers and business partners a successful year of 2011.

We expanded our portfolio of vacuum feedthroughs. Newly available hybrid fiber feedthroughs are equipped with adapter and pigtail interfaces and with many types of optical fibers which may be protected by PTFE tubing or flexible stainless steel braiding. Feedthroughs are easily attached within a flange via design useful for ultra-high vacuum applications.

Dear business partners, we wish you a Merry Christmas and good health, happiness, personal and professional success into the new year of 2016.

At the same time, we thank you for your cooperation in 2015 and look forward to continue working with you in 2016.
