SAN JOSE, Calif., March 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumentum
Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum") announced today that its 100G PAM4
uncooled electro-absorption modulated lasers (EMLs) for
next-generation hyperscale data centers were recognized in the
category of optical components by the 2021 Lightwave Innovation
Reviews. The scaling of next-generation hyperscale data centers to
support the unfolding digital and virtual transformation of work
and life, while reducing the impact to climate change, requires
higher speed performance with lower power consumption.
"On behalf of the Lightwave Innovation Reviews, I would like to
congratulate Lumentum on their high-scoring honoree status," said
Lightwave Associate Publisher and Editorial Director, Stephen Hardy. "This competitive program allows
Lightwave to celebrate and recognize the most innovative products
impacting the optical communications community this year."
Every year, Lightwave's independent panel of judges reviews
innovative products and services. Winners are selected based on
originality, innovation, positive customer impact, application
requirements, novel approach, and cost-effectiveness.
"It is an honor to receive this distinguished award and to be
recognized for our advanced datacom products that are leading the
transition to 400G and beyond," said Walter
Jankovic, Lumentum Senior Vice President and General
Manager, Datacom. "Leveraging thirty years of technology expertise,
our first-to-market and first-to-scale EML chips enable high
performance and low power consumption for 2 km PAM4 modules across
the full temperature range. This is the latest example of how our
innovation benefits customers seeking cost-effective and lower
power solutions for higher data rates."
About the Product
Lumentum manufactures indium phosphide (InP) state-of-the-art
EMLs enabling higher bit rates and lower power consumption for 100G
baud PAM4 operation in its internal high-volume fab in Japan. The Lumentum team has a long history of
leading the market for EML quality and performance through many
generations of increased data rates.
Customers can incorporate the uncooled EMLs in a non-hermetic
package enabling cost-effective solutions with lower power
consumption. These new EMLs support operating temperature ranges
from 20°C to 70°C for use in optical transceivers without a
thermoelectric cooler. Lumentum's EML is a photonic integrated
circuit that consists of a distributed feedback (DFB) laser
section, followed by a monolithically-integrated electro-absorption
modulator (EAM) to provide customers a single high-performance
chip.
