PITTSBURGH - Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR), a company specializing in optical communications technology, has introduced a new bi-directional (bi-di) circulator adaptor designed to reduce fiber count in data transmission, the company announced today. This technology is expected to bring significant cost and space savings by enabling two-way communication over a single fiber between transceivers.
The adaptor comes at a time when there is an increasing demand for efficient fiber utilization in various markets, particularly in data centers driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, as well as the broadband access market. Coherent's bi-di adaptor responds to the need for simple and cost-effective solutions that optimize the use of existing fiber infrastructure.
Dr. Beck Mason, Executive Vice President of Telecommunications at Coherent, highlighted the benefits of the company's fully integrated supply chain and automated assembly process in delivering a high-volume solution that adds value for customers.
The newly announced adaptor is a passive device that is compatible with all transceiver LC connector ports. It boasts low insertion loss and high directivity, all within a compact design. Coherent offers the adaptor in O-band, C-band, and L-band versions, with the possibility of customized designs.
Coherent has already shipped samples of the bi-di adaptor to selected customers and plans to begin volume production in the second half of 2024.
Based in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, Coherent operates globally, providing a range of technologies and services for the industrial, communications, electronics, and instrumentation markets.
