News Release

April 1, 2025 - Advanced Fiber Resources (AFR) announced today that its 2D Fiber Array Unit (FAU), developed by its wholly owned subsidiary Vlink, has been recognized as a high-scoring honoree in the 2025 Lightwave + BTR Innovation Reviews in the Optical Components category.

Advanced Fiber Resources (AFR) is set to demonstrate its 400 Gbps/lane thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) modulator chip at OFC, which will be held at Moscone Center, San Francisco, California, April 1 – 3, 2025.

Advanced Fiber Resources (AFR) is honored to announce volume shipment of 96 GBaud and 130 GBaud TFLN coherent driver modulators (CDMs) to global tier-1 customers. Both products are based on thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) technology, featuring baud rates of 96G and 130G, dual-polarization multiplexing, low insertion loss, low modulation loss, in compact OIF-compatible packages, and can be used in DP-QPSK, DP-16-QAM and DP-64-QAM modulation formats, for long-haul, metro and DCI coherent transmissions up to 1600 Gbps.

Advanced Fiber Resources (AFR) officially announces volume shipment of AM70 ultra-high-speed TFLN modulators to global customers. AM70 is a single Mach-Zehnder modulator based on thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) technology, featuring a high bandwidth of up to 70 GHz, low insertion loss, low Vπ, and excellent linearity, in a compact package with a G3PO RF connector and DC pins.

The 2nd Asia Photonics Expo (APE) successfully concluded at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore.
