QUANTUM DOTS GRAND TOUR @ OFC. We love Quantum Dot Lasers at Optica! Their potential for uncooled operation, no need for isolators and broad flat gain make them a strong contender for the external laser in co-packaged optics. This makes it the ideal laser for datacom transceivers and WDM applications. Last year (2024) we saw Quantum Dots in LPO demos at OFC. This time, after a remark on quantum dots by Andreas “Andy” Bechtolsheim (Arista Networks), we walked the exhibition to see how the Quantum Dot lasers made by Innolume GmbH have already been incorporated by integrators such as Accelink and Genuine Optics. But what are the next steps? We discuss temperature (uncooled) and reliability issues. Our guide on the whirlwind deep-tech tour is Alexey Kovsh Co-founder Innolume GmbH , and we speak with Al Benzoni, VP at Accelink Technologies Co., Ltd., Ashok K. CEO Axalume Inc, and Janina Rautert, R&D Innolume GmbH. Thanks also to Madhav B., CEO of Genuine Optics. Safe journey home! Remember OFC Conference next year is earlier 15-19 March 2026 and will move to the Los Angeles Convention Center!
