Low Loss, Low Power DWDM Optical Chips from Enablence Address Data Centers' Growing Bandwidth Requirements

Fremont, California--(Newsfile Corp. - October 27, 2023) - Enablence Technologies, (TSXV: ENA) a leading provider of photonic semiconductors for data center, telecom, automotive, and industrial automation applications announced a new series of low loss, low power, Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical devices. The new Gaussian and Flattop optical DWDM devices enable data centers' interconnectivity to optimize bandwidth and data traffic across much longer distances. This makes them especially useful for mission-critical networks. The new DWDM devices comply with Telcordia GR-1221-CORE.

DWDM is a form of wavelength division multiplexing designed to afford organizations more flexibility and cost benefits in solving increased network bandwidth capacity requirements. Enablence's new devices support high channel density within the 1525 to 1565 nm C-Band spectrum. As result, the new devices can transmit large quantities of data through a single fiber. This enables more wavelengths to be packed onto the same fiber. These low-loss devices support the temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F).

Enablence's new DWDM devices extend signal quality over longer distances and lengthen data rates by densely packing data streams at different wavelengths. By using optical amplifiers, Enablence's DWDM family of devices also enable the transport of higher amounts of data up to thousands of kilometers. DWDM plays a significant role in the convergence of the metro, wireless, and DCI networks across both telecom and data center service providers.

"Demand for optical networking solutions is exploding, and data centers in particular are turning to DWDM photonics devices as one of a handful of solutions to meet their immediate and growing need for increased bandwidth and distance," commented Todd Haugen, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Enablence. "Our DWDM roll out follows the release of a new family of CWDM devices both based on proven planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technologies and all of which supports our strategic plan to expand our photonics roadmap to capitalize on immediate and longer-term growth opportunities in datacom, telecom and LiDAR markets."

About the New DWDM Mux/Demux Devices
Based on PLC technologies, the DWDM optical devices are low insertion loss and unpowered devices. They are used in applications within and between data centers, front and back haul of wireless communications, and edge network of the telecom service providers. Enablence offers the DWDM devices in different grid pitches and mechanical footprints. The devices are also available in both curved-cut format or rectangular-cut format. Optical performance is based on the 85/85 Damp Heat and other common industry standards. For pricing and availability email technical sales at sales-ENA@enablence.com.
