Operations Supervisor

About Indium Phosphide (InP) Technology Available in our fab by a number of components for the world’s communications infrastructure. In short, they enable the optical networks that form the global internet. The world’s communications infrastructure depends on semiconductor lasers, and particularly those based on indium phosphide technology. Coherent’s broad portfolio of InP components includes application‑specific Fabry‑Pérot lasers, directly modulated lasers (DMLs), tunable lasers and photodiodes for high‑speed receivers and power monitoring.

In 2022 we introduced 200 Gbps indium phosphide electro‑absorption modulated lasers (EMLs) for high‑speed datacenter transceivers. These designs provide our customers with the most advanced, robust and cost‑competitive laser devices for 800G and next‑gen 1.6T transceiver designs. Our world‑class InP technology platform has been proven _:
