The Advantages of Indium Phosphide Photonic Integration in High-performance Coherent Optics
18 January 2021
This article is brought to you by:
A wide range of cloud and video applications, together with the increased access speeds enabled by 5G, DAA, and next-generation PON, are driving the need for ever more optical bandwidth. To deliver this bandwidth, optical vendors are developing a broad range of coherent optical transceivers addressing different segments of the market, each with its own set of design considerations.
