Coherent Corp, a leading global photonics company, has introduced a revolutionary optical transport solution that significantly increases line system capacity while reducing size and power consumption. This innovation, called multi-rail technology, combines high-efficiency pump lasers with resource pooling concepts to keep up with the growing traffic between data centers.
The company will showcase this multi-rail technology at OFC 2025, demonstrating the capability of two independent rails within a single module, doubling density compared to current standards. Coherent’s complete solution set includes dual-chip high-power uncooled pumps, high-resolution optical channel monitors, and dynamic gain equalization technology, paving the way for an eightfold increase in capacity with minimal space and power requirements.
Madhu Krishnaswamy, Senior Vice President at Coherent, describes the multi-rail technology as a groundbreaking advancement in optical transport that will meet the increasing demands of data center interconnects and AI cluster applications. The company plans to double the capacity within the next year, showcasing their commitment to ongoing innovation.
The product is expected to be available in the first half of 2026, with Coherent inviting visitors to their booth at OFC 2025 to witness the demonstration and learn more about their optical transport solutions. Coherent is known for delivering breakthrough technologies in various markets, including industrial, communications, electronics, and instrumentation, with facilities worldwide.
