Lumentum Holdings Inc., a global leader in optical and photonic technology, is set to demonstrate its latest innovations at ECOC 2025, the European Conference on Optical Communications. The exhibition runs September 29–October 1 at the Bella Center, with Lumentum at stand #C2421, spotlighting AI-driven data center solutions and high-performance network infrastructure.
Lumentum’s portfolio spans optical transceivers, co-packaged optics, long-haul transmission systems, subsea cables, and edge networks, delivering the scalability, ultra-fast connectivity, and reliability that modern hyperscale data centers and AI clusters demand.
Live Demonstrations at ECOC 2025
- ELSFP Transceivers for CPO Architectures: Lumentum is presenting external laser source (ELS) modules in the ELSFP pluggable form factor, designed for co-packaged optics (CPO) in high-bandwidth AI and cloud environments. By separating the laser from the optical engine at the system faceplate, these modules improve thermal management, serviceability, and reliability. The modules incorporate ultra-high-power 1310 nm lasers and are expected to sample in Q1 2026.
- 1.6T DR8 TRO OSFP Transceiver: This pluggable transceiver delivers 8×200 Gbps over 500 meters of single-mode fiber, targeting hyperscale cloud and AI workloads. Its Transmit-Retimed Optical (TRO) design reduces power dissipation compared to fully retimed optical modules, while leveraging internal Lumentum components. The transceiver is currently ramping into volume production.
- Extended C+L Ultrawideband Nano-iTLA: Lumentum is sampling its ultrawideband, narrow-linewidth InP nano-iTLA, tunable across 12.4+ THz covering both extended C- and L-bands. Ideal for AI-driven data centers, DCIs, metro, and long-haul networks, it builds on Lumentum’s proven external cavity laser (ECL) technology. Compact yet high-performance, it ensures superior signal integrity and system reach, with initial units already delivered to key customers.
“As AI and cloud workloads accelerate at an unprecedented pace, the need for faster, more scalable optical solutions has never been greater,” said Rafik Ward, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at Lumentum. “With our latest innovations, Lumentum is shaping the future of network infrastructure and empowering customers to build the data centers and AI networks of tomorrow.”
ECOC 2025 attendees can visit stand #C2421 to experience live demonstrations of Lumentum’s advanced photonics solutions and see firsthand how the company is enabling next-generation network performance.
