Article excerpt

Published on 09/21/2026 at 04:05 pm EDT Coherent Corp. announced PhotonLink, an integrated optics platform that brings together Coherent?s broad portfolio of critical photonics technologies, precision assembly and test capabilities to deliver complete optical solutions for next-generation AI datacenters. The platform supports co-packaged optics (CPO), near-packaged optics (NPO) and emerging chip to chip connectivity. PhotonLink brings those technologies and the expertise to integrate them into one platform. Coherent?s vertical integration spans compound semiconductor materials, lasers, optics and specialty fiber through final assembly and test. PhotonLink gives customers access to both individual components and complete optical assemblies from one partner, helping simplify system design, streamline qualification and reduce the complexity of integrating technologies from multiple suppliers. The PhotonLink platform spans four functions of the optical path: Generate, Shape, Guide and Receive. The portfolio includes indium phosphide (InP) lasers, vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays, silicon photonics, isolators, specialty fibers, micro-optics and detectors. Coherent integrates these technologies into external laser sources, precision fiber assemblies and optical modules tailored to customer architectures. Coherent has more than ten CPO customer engagements and...
