In addition to the rapid growth with data centers driven by AI/ML applications, another high-volume application that requires significantly improved use of the deployed fiber through bi-directional transmission plant is the broadband access market.
“The urgent demand for improved utilization of the fiber plant with markets as diverse as AI/ML applications within the data center and the broadband access market shows the real need for simple, cost-effective solutions like our bi-di adaptor. By combining our fully vertically integrated supply chain, including the core garnet chips, with our fully automated assembly process, we can deliver a high-volume solution that brings significant value to our customers,” said Dr.
The Coherent bi-di circulator adaptor is a completely passive device, compatible with all transceiver LC connector ports, offering low insertion loss as well as high directivity in a compact footprint. It is available in O-band, C-band, and L-band versions, and customized designs can be considered as well.
Samples of the bi-di adaptor are available and have shipped to selected customers. Volume production will begin in the second half of 2024.
