TRUMPF and Optomind showcase 100Gbps VCSEL performance in 800Gbps transceiver at ECOC 2024

TRUMPF Photonic Components, a global leader in VCSEL and photodiode solutions for data communication, and Optomind are showcasing 100Gbps VCSEL performance at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) in Frankfurt, Germany. “We are delighted to have achieved a solid performance of 800Gbps in our transceiver, leveraging innovative optics technology and TRUMPF’s improved 100Gbps/ch VCSEL,” commented Yung Son, Chief Marketing Officer of Optomind. “We look forward to solidifying our partnership with TRUMPF as the strategic best-in-class VCSEL supplier for distinguished transceiver and active optical cable (AOC) to our customers,” he added. With increasing demand for multichannel high-speed data transmission in AI/ML-based hyperscale cloud computing space, 800 Gbps data rate at 100Gbps per lane and beyond is essential.

“We are pleased with continuing collaboration with Optomind to demonstrate the performance of our VCSEL at PAM4 112Gbps/ch in their transceiver, which validates the use of it in a real-world application,” said Ralph Gudde, TRUMPF’s Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “A full-featured version with enhanced technology for superior performance over longer link transmission, and at higher temperatures, is nearing the release this year. TRUMPF is diversified, has a strong technology background, and brings solid long-term commitment as a technology partner and a key supplier into the datacom business,” he explained.

Advanced optical data communication systems benefit from the high-speed data transmission which the VCSEL-based technology offers. TRUMPF 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. The VCSELs are specifically designed to meet the demands of data centers including for AI/ML, high-performance computing, and other bandwidth-intensive applications, as they deliver stable and reliable data transmission at high speeds.
