LESSENGERS shows off 800G QSFP-DD and 400G QSFP112 optical transceivers
South Korean optical technology developer LESSENGERS Inc. used ECOC 2022 last week to offer live demonstrations of polymer-wired 800G QSFP-DD and 400G QSFP112 optical transceivers. The transceiver design obviates the need for lens optics, relying instead on LESSENGERS’s patented direct optical wiring (DOW) technology.
Powered by LESSENGERS’s patent direct optical wiring (DOW) technology, the LESSENGERS 800G QSFP-DD and 400G QSFP112 optical transceivers achieve excellent optical signal integrity and best cost-effectiveness. DOW enables complete passive alignment with high-precision and high-density optical coupling without the use of lens optics, LESSENGER asserts. DOW can be used to develop modules that offer high signal integrity as well as low cost for such applications such as 800G/1.6T optical modules as well as onboard, near packaged, or co-packaged optics, the company says.
Modules on display at ECOC 2022 included:
- 800G QSFP-DD SR8 optical transceiver
- 400G QSFP112 SR4 optical transceiver
- 200G QSFP56 SR4 optical transceiver
- 200G ultra-small sized optical module.
“LESSENGERS’ current business is focused on multimode-based optical interconnect solutions along with customized optical packaging services, however, we will continue to push forward on single-mode-based applications such as silicon photonics,” said Chongcook Kim, CEO at LESSENGERS. “This successful demonstration of DOW technology-based optical transceiver solutions will bring a new era of data center optical interconnects and the development of these technologies will support future requirements for high performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions.”
