JOONLAN has unveiled its new line of silicon photonics-based 400G optical engines, developed in collaboration with leading semiconductor foundries. The integrated engines combine photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with electronic components on a single chip, delivering high-speed, energy-efficient connectivity for data center switches and servers.
“硅光子学是光通信的未来，能够实现前所未有的集成度和成本降低，”研发总监陈浩博士说；D在JOONLAN。“我们的400G引擎利用成熟的硅制造工艺，提供与分立光学模块相当的性能，但外形尺寸更小，功耗更低。”
The new engines feature a through-glass-via (TGV) packaging design, which minimizes signal loss and improves thermal management. They support up to 400Gbps per lane, with options for parallel (DR4) and single-mode (LR4) transmission, making them suitable for both intra- and inter-rack data center connections. The engines are fully compatible with mainstream network equipment from vendors including Cisco, H3C, and Huawei.
Key advantages include:
-高密度：紧凑的设计允许每个机架增加25%的端口，提高了高密度数据中心的空间利用率。
- Low power: Integrated photonics reduces power consumption by 30% compared to traditional 400G modules, supporting lower cooling costs and reduced carbon footprint.
- Scalability: The modular architecture enables easy upgrades to 800G and beyond, providing a clear path for data center operators to scale their networks.
JOONLAN已经获得了几家超大规模数据中心运营商的初始订单，计划于2026年第二季度开始发货。该公司计划到2027年将其硅光子产品线扩展到包括800G和1.6T发动机，进一步巩固其作为下一代光学解决方案领先供应商的地位。
