Tower Semiconductor and Coherent announced the demonstration of 400Gbps-per-lane data transmission using a silicon-only MZM, targeting next-generation 3.2T optical transceivers on Tower’s high-volume silicon photonics (SiPho) process. This demonstration of the new modulator, utilizing Coherent’s high-power InP CW laser, was presented at OFC 2026 and achieved a clear β€œopen eye” at 420Gb/s PAM4, enabling 3.2T optical transceivers for both pluggable and co-packaged optics (CPO) architectures. This notable achievement reflects our collaboration and the combined strengths of Coherent’s advanced design capabilities and Tower’s high-performance SiPho platform. πŸ‘‰ For more information: https://lnkd.in/dQk-ge5m #TowerSemiconductor #SiliconPhotonics #AIInfrastructure #OpticalTransceivers #Datacenter #Photonics #CPO #OFC2026
