Project: Development and Commercialization of High Speed 100Gbps Modules for Optical Communications

Prize Winning Technology

The two companies developed the below technologies, and successfully commercialized devices which have become key components in achieving 100Gbps optical networks. These include a receiving device (coherent receiver), a transmitting device (optical modulator) that supports the 100G digital coherent method, and the coherent optical transceiver equipped with the transmitting and receiving devices.

1. Direct mounting technology for optical elements:
Directly mounting optical elements to the Planer Lightwave Circuit (PLC) and electrically coupling them with the shortest wire-bonding to simultaneously achieve high-speed performance and mass production.

2. Automatic assembly technology:
The companies developed highly reliable image recognition technology with machine learning(2) and efficient prediction alignment technology, enabling highly precise and high-speed assembly.

By supplying system providers worldwide with these modules for optical communications, the two companies supported the spread of 100Gbps optical network markets and had a major impact on the development of digital society.

Currently, the companies are developing 100+ Gbps optical communications modules to support increased communications traffic. Winning the Contribution Prize has reinforced the companies' determination to advance the development of these modules for the further evolution of digital society.
