Coherent Introduces a New Circulator Adaptor Enabling Bi-Directional Fiber Connectivity For AI/ML Applications
March 22 2024 - 5:00AM
Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a leader in optical communications
technology and components, announced today the introduction of a
bi-di circulator adaptor. This adaptor enables bi-directional
transmission over a single fiber between two transceivers. By
enabling bi-directional transmission, the fiber count is reduced by
a factor of two, which allows significant cost and space savings.
In addition to the rapid growth with data centers driven by
AI/ML applications, another high-volume application that requires
significantly improved use of the deployed fiber through
bi-directional transmission plant is the broadband access
market.
“The urgent demand for improved utilization of the fiber plant
with markets as diverse as AI/ML applications within the data
center and the broadband access market shows the real need for
simple, cost-effective solutions like our bi-di adaptor. By
combining our fully vertically integrated supply chain, including
the core garnet chips, with our fully automated assembly process,
we can deliver a high-volume solution that brings significant value
to our customers,” said Dr. Beck Mason, Executive Vice President,
Telecommunications.
The Coherent bi-di circulator adaptor is a completely passive
device, compatible with all transceiver LC connector ports,
offering low insertion loss as well as high directivity in a
compact footprint. It is available in O-band, C-band, and L-band
versions, and customized designs can be considered as well.
Samples of the bi-di adaptor are available and have shipped to
selected customers. Volume production will begin in the second half
of 2024.
