As the data rate continue to increase to 400G, 800G and beyond, Coherent and IMDD technology has been given rise to more and more demand. Coherent has gradually encroached the market share of IMDD, and the industry are also actively developing next-generation coherent solutions targeting even shorter distances such as 10km. So where are the eventual boundaries between IMDD and Coherent technology? The boundary can be characterized by various metrics like data rate, distance, power consumption and transceiver cost, and may be closely related to the application drivers. This forum will discuss the below topics:
Topics
800G and Beyond Application in telecom
140GBd coherent system for DCI applications
coherent optical module development
800G and beyond Coherent for short distance applications
Technology and application of Thin-Film Lithium Niobate modulator in coherent and IMDD
