Rafik Ward, Chief Strategy Officer & CMO at Lumentum, presents from OFC 2026 showcasing the company's next-generation co-packaged optics technology, including an 800mW laser in an ELSFP module and a dual ELSFP system with 16 multiplexed channels delivering 24 dBm fiber coupling.

Michael DeMerchant, Sr. Director, Product Line Marketing at Lumentum, explains how the AI infrastructure buildout drives hyperscalers to focus on optical technologies, with Lumentum addressing network power consumption challenges through optical circuit switches, external laser sources for co-packaged optics, and 1.6T partial retimed optics modules. DeMerchant also highlights Lumentum's participation in OCP OCS working group standardization efforts to bring industry vendors and hyperscalers together for common standards that accelerate technology adoption.

Gopalan Iyengar, R&D Optical Engineer at Lumentum, demonstrates Marvell 400G/per lane PAM4 technology operating at 225 Gbaud with Lumentum’s indium phosphide (InP) monolithically-integrated DFB-MZI optical transmitter. The successful demonstration shows clean eye diagrams at 225 PAM-4 gigabaud and 450G/lane speeds, positioning this advancement as a key solution for 3.2T applications.

Marc Stiller, VP of Product Line Management at Lumentum, shows the latest 800G ZR+ and 400F high power ZR+ modules for coherent communications in metro and longhaul applications.
