March 25 2024 - 3:30PM
Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a global leader in optical
communications components and subsystems, announced today that it
will showcase its new products and technologies for next-generation
optical communications networks at OFC 2024, March 26-28 at the San
Diego Convention Center, Booth #3412. Coherent thought leaders will
present at panels, technical sessions, and other OFC events.
RECENT PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Significant Advancements in VCSEL
PerformanceBandwidth 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.
- 6-inch Indium Phosphide Semiconductor Wafer
Fabs6-inch InP wafer fabrication introduced in both
Coherent’s U.S. and European fabs to significantly reduce die cost
for InP optoelectronic devices including lasers, detectors, and
electronics.
- I-Temp 100G ZR QSFP28-DCO ModuleIndustry-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 ModuleNew
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 GrismsA 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) SolutionComprehensive
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 Datacenters300x300
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 ModuleDemonstration
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
ModulesDemonstration 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.
