Photon Bridge, CPFC scale multi-wavelength laser engines
Partnership demonstrates commercial manufacturability of high-power external laser sources for AI and datacenter photonics.
Photon Bridge and the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre (CPFC) have validated the manufacturability of multi-wavelength external laser sources (ELS) using a scalable heterogeneous photonics platform.
CPFC, a commercial-scale InP foundry, is providing high-power laser wafers supporting 8, 16, and 32 multiplexed wavelengths with over 30 mW per channel, confirming a clear path from lab prototypes to volume production.
The collaboration leverages Photon Bridge’s thick-silicon integration approach to simplify assembly, improve yield, and reduce system cost, targeting AI infrastructure, optical sensing, and datacenter applications.
The milestone underscores the readiness of high-power, multi-wavelength light engines for commercial photonics systems.
Photon Bridge and CPFC will showcase their platform at the OFC Conference, booth 757, South Hall.
