Applications
Phononic TECs enable High-Speed Optical Receivers for AI & Machine Learning – 1.6T & beyond.
Phononic’s TECs provide an efficient and reliable cooling solution for high-speed optical transceivers in data centers. By managing the heat generated by these components, TECs help maintain optimal performance, extend the lifespan of the transceivers, and support the overall efficiency of data center operations.
Cooled optics enable hyperscale data centers to connect to the optical edge.
High-speed optical transceivers are integral to the functioning of telecommunication data centers, enabling the efficient and high-capacity transmission of data across global networks. They facilitate data transfer to the optical edge, connect with hyperscale data centers, and support the scalability and reliability of the telecom infrastructure. As data demands and network complexities continue to grow, the need to cool high-speed optical transceivers will become even more critical to ensure the smooth operation of telecommunications services.
Phononic TECs enable High-Speed Optical Receivers for AI & Machine Learning – 1.6T & beyond.
High-speed optical transceivers facilitate efficient data transfer between edge and central data centers. This connectivity is essential for synchronizing data, performing large-scale analytics, and maintaining a cohesive network infrastructure. As data rates continue to increase, cooled optical transceivers are a must have in order to support the efficient handling of data-intensive and latency-sensitive applications, enabling real-time processing and decision-making for applications such as IoT, gaming, autonomous vehicles and augmented reality.
Products
TECs for Box TOSA
Perfect for TOSAs that support 100G LR4, 100G DR1, and 400G DR4/FR4/ZR products as well as 25G and 50G for mobile applications. Typically 4 to 6mm on a side and optimized to efficiently handle up to 1 W heat loads.
Phononic supports the cooling of box TOSA (transmit optical subassembly) laser packages with low-power consumption, high-performance TECs. This series is perfect for 100G and higher applications, QSFP transceiver packages, and the long-reach requirements (LR4/10km and beyond) that are in demand from the growth of optical components used in data centers.
TECs for TO CAN
Our smallest TECs are perfect for TO Can-based laser and detectors from 10G to 25G to 50G and beyond, including PON, 5G mobile and FTTx. Typically less than 3 mm per side and optimized for up to 600 mW of heat.
Phononic delivers low-power consumption, high-performance TECs to efficiently cool TO can lasers, all configured for your specific application. This series is ideal for cost-effective lasers from 10G to 50G and beyond, including PON (passive optical networks), wireless network apps, and FTTx applications. This series, including our pico-TEC platform, can be used for cooling common package sizes such as TO56 (5.6mm diameter) and can support even smaller packages such as TO32 or TO40.
Phononic TECs are enabling the AI revolution.
Cooling is imperative for Fiber Optical Communications
As the data rate demand continues to increase, so too does the need for extremely high performance. And while there was a time when lasers in transceivers would work within acceptable standards for short distances, that time is quickly passing. There is a clear need for an extended range, which requires higher power and thereby generates heat and more data per clock event (in which compressed data requires very accurate wavelength control in both DWDM and coherent modulation), which is highly affected by heat. This is where inexpensive, efficient thermoelectric coolers, or TECs, come into play.
