Top speed Gb/s Highest module or chip application rate documented in the cited sources, in Gb/s (1600 = 1.6T). A historical catalog or announcement is not proof of today’s maximum or volume shipments.: 1,600 1
Speeds Data-center speed grades in the current portfolio, as the company lists them.: 800G, 1.6T (200G per lane) 1
1.6T status Evidence for the 1.6T module or chip: volume/revenue shipping, customer sampling, or public demo/announcement. Blank means no dated status established; inspect the source date.: Shipping 1
Form factors Pluggable form factors offered (QSFP28, QSFP56, QSFP112, QSFP-DD, OSFP, OSFP-XD and so on), or the package type for chips and engines.: OSFP, QSFP-DD 1
LPO / LRO Offers linear pluggable optics (LPO) or linear receive optics (LRO), or the drivers, TIAs or DSPs built for them.: Not published
CPO / optical I/O Offers co-packaged optics, optical engines for CPO, or optical I/O chiplets.: Not published
Silicon photonics Identifies silicon photonics in a published product, design or demonstration. This flag does not establish volume shipments.: Yes 1
Coherent (ZR) Offers coherent pluggables or coherent DSPs (400ZR, ZR+, 800ZR) for data center interconnect.: Not published
Lasers Laser technologies the company makes or uses: VCSEL, EML, DML, CW lasers for silicon photonics, or tunable lasers.: 200G PAM4 EML (in-house), InP PIC, silicon photonics 1
Reaches Reach classes offered, from SR (multimode, about 100 m) through DR, FR and LR (single-mode, 500 m to 10 km) to ZR (80 km and beyond).: 1.6T DR8, 2xFR4; 800G DR4, FR4, LR4 1
Named customers Hyperscaler or major customers the company or its filings name publicly.: Not published
Revenue Reported annual revenue in the original currency and fiscal year. Figures may cover an entire group and periods differ; this is not an optics market-share ranking.: Not published
Optics revenue share Share or amount of revenue from optical transceivers, datacom or the relevant segment, where a filing or earnings release states it.: Not published
Listing Stock exchange and ticker, or Private.: Not published
Manufacturing Countries where the company states it manufactures.: Not published
