Coherent High Precision (COHR), one of the leaders in the global materials, networking, and laser fields, recently launched a new and efficient continuous wave (CW) distributed feedback (DFB) laser. These innovative laser families designed specifically for silicon photonics transceivers represent a leap forward in indium phosphide (InP) laser technology.
Coherent High Intent CW InP Laser is designed for the O-band (1310 nm region), redefining the performance of silicon photon modulators for 800G and 1.6T optical transceivers. Optical transceivers are the core components of data transmission technology, and the key is to address the explosive demand for bandwidth in AI driven data centers, which are widely adopting machine learning networks to process large amounts of data.
Coherent High Intent 70 mW CW InP Laser Diode Chip
Unparalleled efficiency, ushering in a new era of interconnectivity
Coherent High Intent CW laser adopts a proprietary low series resistance design, with energy efficiency about 15% higher than current industry standards. This breakthrough solves the key requirement of reducing power consumption in silicon photonics transceivers and provides customers with significant efficiency advantages.
Our new CW laser family for silicon photonics is sparking an exciting wave among industry leaders, "said Dr. Kou Wei Wang, Vice President of InP. With the increasing demand for InP lasers from customers, we are committed to leading the market with our technology and supply chain capabilities.
A new standard for laser technology
The first product of this revolutionary laser family is a 70 mW 1310 nm laser, designed to operate in an uncooled, non airtight environment at junction temperatures up to 85 ° C. The commercial delivery of this laser will begin in September 2024. Coherent High Energy also plans to launch higher power lasers operating in cooled environments and lasers customized for CWDM wavelengths by 2025.
These lasers are not only efficient, but also robust. Due to the removal of aluminum from the active quantum well region, they provide excellent reliability.
