About Indium Phosphide (InP) Technology

The world’s communications infrastructure depends on semiconductor lasers, particularly those based on indium phosphide technology. Indium phosphide lasers are engineered to emit at wavelengths optimal for long‑distance fiber‑optic transmission, enabling the optical networks that form the global internet. Coherent’s portfolio includes application‑specific Fabry‑Pérot lasers, directly modulated lasers (DMLs), tunable lasers, and photodiodes for high‑speed receivers and power monitoring. In 2022, we introduced 200 Gbps indium phosphide electro‑absorption modulated lasers (EMLs) for high‑speed data‑center transceivers, providing customers with robust, cost‑competitive laser devices for their 800G and next‑gen 1.6T transceiver designs.

Our world‑class InP platform has been proven with over one hundred million lasers deployed in the field.
