Electro Optics: OpenLight showcased 400G-per-lane III-V silicon photonics at OFC 2026

The Electro Optics article, following OFC 2026, covered OpenLight’s demonstration of its heterogeneous III-V silicon photonics devices. It included its 400G-per-lane electro-absorption modulators and a 1.6T DR8 transceiver PIC for hyperscale networks, integrating lasers, modulators, and amplifiers. 

The 400G-per-lane EA modulator demonstration highlighted advances in performance, integration, and manufacturability. OpenLight also showed a 1.6T DR8 evaluation board with DFB lasers, EA modulators, amplifiers, and photodetectors on a single chip, with flip-chip co-packaging to demonstrate a fully integrated optical solution.

OpenLight also featured partner technologies: Oriole Networks’ passive silicon photonics switching for AI networking, GDS Factory’s schematic-driven photonic design tools, and Spark Photonics’ design services.
