Modulators Towards 400G and 800G per Lane Optical Communication

Optical communication is experiencing strong market growth following investments made in data centers and long-haul communication networks. Processing units and clusters are limited by the data I/O, which drives the demand for faster pluggable transceivers, the next generation being 3.2T and 6.4T (Tbit/s). Polariton is here to be the premium supplier for electro-optic modulators with devices capable of 400G and 800G per lane transmission. This presentation will introduce the optical communications market, the competing electro-optic platforms and plasmonics enabling the world’s fastest commercial electro-optic modulators.
