#OFC24 was a huge event for Coherent Corp., which made big announcements in material sciences, including new Indium Phosphide capabilities, pushing VCSELs to 200 Gbps per lane and thereby enabling optical transceivers with 1.6 Tbps capacity, and previewing an all-optical switching platform. Sanjai Parthasarathi, CMO from Coherent, explains:
- The world’s first capability for 6-inch indium phosphide (InP) wafer fabrication, in the company’s Sherman, Texas, and Järfälla, Sweden, wafer fabs.
- The use of advanced materials, including diamond, for cooling applications in AI server pods, which is generating excitement among their customer base.
- The unveiling of their Optical circuit switch, which offers significant cost savings, latency reduction, and power savings, particularly for emerging applications in AI connectivity within the data center.
