State-of-the-art adhesives for optical communication
Optoelectronics has long been a cornerstone of modern technology and therefore also of modern life. For example, fiber optic cables have played an important role in data transmission for many years.
Optical Transceivers
Improving the performance of data transfer solutions
Optical transceivers are essential components in this process. These devices convert electrical signals into optical signals, making it possible to transmit and receive data in fiber optic cables. Optical transceivers are also responsible for retranslating optical signals into electrical signals at the receiver end.
The volume of data to be processed is constantly growing, and with it the demands for optical transceivers. Many data centers are currently using 100 Gbps transceivers. Most new data centers are already equipped with 400 Gbps transceivers for even better performance and higher transfer rates. And transceivers with transmission rates of 800 Gbps and even 1.6 Tbps will also be needed in the future to meet the demand for high-speed data traffic. Adhesives play a crucial role in these advancements.
Photonic Integrated Circuits
Miniaturization for next-gen technology applications
Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are integrated circuits that detect, process and generate signals using photons, specifically light. While the technology that underpins optical circuits is still under development, many advantages are already foreseeable: The integration of multiple optical components on a single chip minimizes losses in data transmission, while enabling more compact and, above all, more energy-efficient designs—an important point, as the demand for fast data transmission and computing power is constantly increasing due to growth drivers such as AI and cloud applications.
To minimize the loss between electrical and optical integrated circuits and thus significantly increase their efficiency, technologically sophisticated packaging processes such as co-packaged optics (CPO) are being developed.
In addition to data centers, PICs are also used in sensors, LiDAR systems, and medical devices.
