HyperLight Launches 110 GHz IQ Modulators for AI-Optimized 240 GBaud Coherent Optical Systems
HyperLight, creator of the TFLN Chiplet platform, announced the launch of 110 GHz IQ packaged modulators, available in standard and low-Vπ versions. These modulators support 240 GBaud+ coherent optical communication and advanced test systems, covering optical O, C, and L wavelength bands.
The modulators provide 125 GHz operational bandwidth and a half-wave voltage as low as 1.7 V, designed for the voltage constraints of high-baud-rate arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) systems. They have been delivered to customers worldwide.
Key features include:
- Single-polarization IQ modulator
- 125 GHz operational bandwidth
- Support for 240 GBaud signaling
- IQ automatic bias controller, designed for TFLN thermal phase shifter
- Coverage across C/L-band and O-band
Target applications encompass 240 GBaud coherent testing and 110 GHz single sideband modulation.
Mian Zhang, CEO of HyperLight, stated, “With 240 GBaud coherent applications on the horizon, the launch of our 110 GHz IQ Modulator gives customers early and straightforward access to the golden transmitters essential for next-generation coherent testing and development. This breakthrough builds on our proven, high-volume TFLN Chiplet™ pla...
