Lumentum Enhances Performance in 800ZR+ Transceivers for Broader Applications
Award-winning transceivers transforming metro and regional networks and unlocking new possibilities in long-haul applications
Lumentum has optimized its latest generation of 800ZR+ modules to maximize performance, while maintaining a compact QSFP-DD and OSFP form factor. These modules employ Lumentum’s latest hybrid photonic integrated circuit technology, which incorporates both the company’s leading edge indium phosphide photonic integrated circuits and silicon photonics. The performance and use case flexibility provided by these modules mark a significant step in the evolution of high-speed communications networks.
“Lumentum's unique photonic component capabilities and innovative module designs, together with our partners' latest generation coherent DSPs, enable us to provide solutions that dramatically increase scalability for both cloud and telecom network operators,” said Wupen Yuen, President of Cloud and Networking at Lumentum. “Our advancements also help address the challenges of scaling data center interconnects for the bandwidth needs related to artificial intelligence and machine learning."
Marc Stiller, Vice President of Product Line Management at Lumentum, added, "Our new 800ZR+ and 400ZR+ modules enhance cost-efficiency in applications spanning DCI to metro and long-haul applications, with significant improvements in optical power and optical signal-to-noise ratio. They represent a major advance in reducing cost and power per bit versus existing technologies."
Demand for 400ZR and 400ZR+ modules has surged, particularly for data center interconnect (DCI) applications, with the ecosystem of transceiver modules, routers, and system software having reached maturity and critical mass for widespread adoption. Escalating demands for bandwidth to support advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning applications are accelerating the need to transition to higher-speed 800 Gbps modules. With enhanced performance, including higher output power and reach, these latest coherent pluggable modules are also increasingly able to meet the stringent requirements of traditional telecom metro and long-haul applications, while offering increased deployment flexibility and cost, size, and power savings versus traditional solutions.
These modules are currently available for sampling. For further details, reach out to Lumentum's customer service team at customer.service@lumentum.com.
