RECENT PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENTS
Significant Advancements in VCSEL Performance Bandwidth improvement in Coherent’s vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), paving the way for use in next-generation optical interconnects that will operate at 200 Gbps per lane. 200 Gbps VCSELs are expected to power future 1.6 Tbps transceivers. I-Temp 100G ZR QSFP28-DCO Module Industry-first 100G ZR QSFP28 digital coherent optics (DCO) transceiver supporting an industrial operating temperature range; designed for deployment in outdoor environments, this module utilizes Coherent’s Steelerton™ digital signal processor (DSP), a purpose-built DSP component family launched in 2022, in conjunction with an efficient silicon photonics optical front-end and a power-optimized tunable laser. High-Power Uncooled Pump Laser Module New uncooled pump laser modules able to deliver, in a compact 10-pin form factor, up to 1000 mW of output power for submarine applications and up to 2x700 mW of output power for terrestrial applications. Bi-Directional Circulator Adaptor Bi-di circulator adaptor based on Coherent’s vertically integrated circulator technology that enables bi-directional transmission over a single fiber between two transceivers in a compact footprint compatible with all transceiver LC connector ports. Extended C+L-Band Grisms A groundbreaking family of advanced, aberration-correcting, high-efficiency grisms and transmission gratings capable of encompassing the entire extended C+L band in a single optic. Microlens Array (MLA) Solution Comprehensive and versatile platform for advanced collimation, focusing, and beam-shaping capabilities in a highly compact package: ideal for high-speed communication transceivers and modules, optical circuit switches, and LiDAR systems. TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCT DEMONSTRATIONS
Optical Circuit Switch for Datacenters 300x300 port Datacenter Lightwave Cross-Connect (DLX™), an optical circuit switch based on the company’s field-proven and ultrareliable digital liquid-crystal technology to enable new AI network architectures that replace traditional packet switches with optical circuit switches. 200G per lane Linear Pluggable Optics for 800G Demonstration of linear pluggable optics performance with 200 Gbps PAM4 electrical and optical lanes in an 800G-DR4 transceiver platform. 800G ZR/OpenZR+ QSFP-DD-DCO Demonstration of 800G QSFP-DD-DCO in various setups: over an optical link of 450 km fiber, in datacenter router, and at OIF booth with 400G and 800G interoperability demo. 100G ZR QSFP28-DCO I-Temp Module Demonstration of the industry’s first 100G QSFP28 ZR supporting an industrial operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). The coherent transceiver is integrated with in-house purpose-built DSP, silicon photonics optical engine, and tunable laser. C+L-Band Transport Product Modules Demonstration of ultrawide-band OCM, C+L-band EDFA, and 3x33 Flexgrid® C+L-band twin wavelength selective switch (WSS) to meet the increasing demand for the expanded transmission bandwidth in DCI, metro, and long-haul applications.
