AI Data Centers
High-power CW O-band DFB laser diodes deliver the narrow linewidth and optical stability required for next-generation AI data center interconnects.
Designed for co-packaged optics (CPO) and external laser small form factor pluggable (ELSFP) architectures, SemiNex DFB lasers provide reliable light sources that enable scalable silicon photonics platforms and optical networks that scale across high-density compute fabrics.
Optical Communication
SemiNex state-of-the-art DFB lasers provide superior performance, ensuring long life time and high reliability for ensuring data transmission.
We use only the highest quality semiconductors with wavelengths at 1310nm and 1550nm.
The narrow linewidth, high side mode suppression ratio (SMSR), and low relative intensity noise (RIN) of our DFB platform can achieve high quality optical communications. The customizable multi-channel DFB array allows Si PIC integration for low cost and miniaturized transceiver design.
