One-stop provision of optical transceiver modules for network infrastructure such as data centers

Coherent's optical transceiver modules are used in the products of major switch and server vendors around the world for their reliability, performance, supply system, and cost advantages. This is because Coherent has a vertical integration strategy that cannot be imitated by other optical transceiver module vendors, and provides products using cutting-edge technology with a stable quality and supply system by consistently adopting in-house technology and facilities from the main components (IC, light emitting element, light receiving element) that make up the optical transceiver module, their packaging, final assembly to testing. In addition, we have the world's largest mass production plants for optical transceiver modules in Malaysia and China, and are responding to the growing demand for optical transceiver modules accompanying the rapidly expanding traffic.
The adoption of open technologies, such as Facebook's OCP (Open Compute Project), is spreading worldwide in network infrastructure equipment operated at data centers. Unlike the conventional model in which hardware, OS, applications, etc. were provided comprehensively, in open networks, by selecting the optimal hardware, OS, applications, etc. that match the environment of a company and constructing an infrastructure system, it is expected to facilitate maintenance, reduce power consumption, and suppress investment costs.
Optical transceiver modules, which mutually convert electrical and optical signals for transmission and reception, are expected to have similar effects by introducing optical transceiver modules that are optimal for the customer's environment, rather than as part of a switch or server vendor's product.

Flextune™, a unique Coherent feature that solves operational issues in WDM

In recent years, with the increase in communication traffic, WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology has been used for optical communications, connecting bases with a single optical fiber to achieve high-capacity communications. On the other hand, there are operational issues associated with inventory management of various types of optical transceiver modules and manual wavelength settings. Coherent's unique automatic wavelength setting function "Flextune™", patented by Coherent, solves these problems.

Flextune™

Optical signal evaluation solution that can prevent WDM transmission failure

For those who measure optical signals or use optical transceiver modules and have issues such as ``I am considering communication using WDM, but I am experiencing communication failures in WDM transmission.'' There are some too.
Coherent's WaveShaper and WaveAnalyzer provide evaluation solutions that can be recommended when transmission failures occur.
By using these products, when a communication failure actually occurs, it is possible to analyze the cause by checking the state of the optical signal spectrum. It is also possible to estimate the light loss from this.
