Featured
Products from AFR Milan
AFR Milan introduced its advanced photonic chips and modulators to meet the growing needs of next-generation networks:
-
400 Gbps/lane TFLN Modulator Chip – Purpose-built for PAM-4 transmission, capable of supporting 1.6 Tbps (DR4/FR4) or 3.2 Tbps (DR8/FR8).
-
130 GBaud CDM (Coherent Driver Modulator) – With power consumption below 3.5
W and an optical extinction
ratio ≥ 23 dB, enabling DP-QPSK,
DP-16QAM, and DP-64QAM coherent transmission.
-
40 GHz TFLN IQ Modulator –
Featuring electro-optic bandwidth
> 25 GHz and high linearity, suitable for OFDM, QPSK, QAM formats, and FMCW LiDAR.
-
C-Band and 1060 nm Phase Modulator – Combining high linearity, low drive voltage, and compact footprint,
supporting modulation up to 10 GHz
for ultra-fast high-power lasers
and quantum applications.
Innovations
from AFR Subsidiaries: B&A and Vlink
Alongside AFR
Milan’s showcase, AFR subsidiaries B&A and Vlink highlighted
significant advances:
-
4-Pump Raman Amplifier (B&A) – Extends support to C++ bands,
delivering low noise figure, flat
gain, and high reliability for backbone and coherent transmission networks.
-
Single Channel Nano EDFA (B&A) – A compact, low-power amplifier providing up to 6 dBm output power, optimized for single-channel systems and data center interconnects (DCI).
-
2D FAU for WSS (Vlink) – An
innovative nonlinear 2D fiber
array unit that achieves precise waveguide matching and improved coupling efficiency, enhancing optical path stability in wavelength selective switching (WSS) systems.
