Google has deployed MEMS-based, all-optical switching technology in its data centers. Could all-optical switches gain traction with other operators? Coherent Corp. has just introduced  a new optical circuit switch (OCS) based on the company’s field-proven and ultrareliable Datacenter Lightwave Cross-Connect (DLX) technology. Sanjai Parthasarathi, CMO from Coherent explains:

- The unique features of Coherent's Optical switch platform, including its Liquid Crystal-based platform that requires lower drive voltage and has no moving parts, making it a highly reliable solution.

- The platform's data rate agnostic nature, which is a significant advantage in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.

- The substantial reduction in power consumption by 30-40%, a crucial factor in today's power-hungry data centers, and the promising customer attraction from data center operators, hyperscalers, and OEMs.
