Source Lasers, ICs, and Photodiodes

High volume with consistent reliability

Lumentum offers a broad family of source lasers and photodetectors for your fiberoptic transceiver needs. These products range from short wavelength vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) for short reach multimode fiber applications to longer wavelength edge emitting lasers, both directly modulated (DML) and externally modulated (EML), for single-mode fiber (SMF) applications. 

These devices cover a range of data rates from 10G to 25G with NRZ data modulation to as high as 100G with PAM4 data modulation. The devices include lasers for both cooled and uncooled operation and for hermetic and non-hermetic applications.

ICs
In addition, Lumentum offers a GaAs 53 Gbaud PAM4 driver IC, a linear, differential driver optimized for 1 x 100G and 4 x 100G applications requiring PAM4 modulation, and a family of high power, single-mode semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) for telecom and 3D sensing applications.
