Overview

Front-end data center networks form the critical interface between servers, switches, and storage systems, where bandwidth density, latency, and energy efficiency determine overall performance. Lumentum enables this connectivity with a broad portfolio of high-performance optical components, including EMLs, DMLs, and CW lasers that power 100G, 200G, 400G, 800G, and 1.6T pluggable transceivers. Most of them built on our proven indium phosphide (InP) platform and field-proven at hyperscale volumes, these technologies deliver exceptional signal integrity, power efficiency, and reliability across short- and medium-reach links. Lumentum’s front-end network solutions provide the scalable, energy-efficient optical interconnects that keep today’s cloud and AI data centers performing at their peak.
