Trumpf to show next generation VCSELs at ECOC
Trumpf Photonic Components will present upcoming advances in VCSEL technology aimed at meeting the evolving demands of the future datacom market at ECOC 2024 (22nd to 26th Sept, Frankfurt, Germany).
“These improvements focus on increasing functionality per chip area to support low-noise LPO [Linear Photonic Optical] links and densely integrated CPO [Co-Packaged Optics] technology”, said Roman Koerner, head of R&D at the company.
Key innovations include subwavelength gratings to reduce RIN and burst noise, as well as composite VCSELs for improved single-mode robustness, faster speed and lower thermal impedance. Designed for wavelengths like 1060nm and 1310nm to minimise fibre attenuation, the technology will play a crucial role in the next generation of high-performance optical transceivers.
Trumpf says it continues to invest heavily in its technology for higher data rates and is offering both VCSELs and photodiodes as a matching pair solution in various layouts like singlets, 1x2, 1x4, 1x8 and/or 1x12 arrays.
