The world’s communications infrastructure depends on semiconductor lasers, and particularly those based on indium phosphide technology. Indium phosphide lasers are engineered to emit at wavelengths that are optimal for long‑distance transmission through fiber optics and enable the optical networks that form the global internet. Coherent’s broad portfolio of InP components includes application‑specific Fabry‑Pérot lasers, directly modulated lasers (DMLs), tunable lasers, photodiodes for high‑speed receivers, and power monitoring.

In 2022, we introduced 200 Gbps indium phosphide electro‑absorption modulated lasers (EMLs) for high‑speed data‑center transceivers, offering the most advanced, robust, and cost‑competitive laser devices for 800 G and next‑gen 1.6 T transceiver designs. Our world‑class and highly reliable InP technology platform has been proven with more than one hundred million lasers deployed worldwide.
