Experience the Future of Cooling at OFC 2025

AI is driving explosive growth in high-performance computing, accelerating the transition to 800G and 1.6T optical transceivers. But as data demands skyrocket, so do thermal challenges.

Phononic Featured in Laser Focus World

Alex Guichard, Vice President of Product Marketing at Phononic, was recently interviewed by Laser Focus World to discuss Phononic’s thermoelectric cooling technology for LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). This remote sensing method uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges, acting as “the eyes” for autonomous vehicles.  The automotive LiDAR industry […]

Top 5 Takeaways from the Optical Fiber Communications (OFC) Conference 2022

At the recently-wrapped OFC 2022 show, it was clear that participants were ready for a traditional face-to-face conference as energy was high and the event was pleasantly well-attended. We wanted to quickly share our thoughts from the show, particularly for those who couldn’t make it (hope to see you next year!): TOP TAKEAWAYS The first […]

Phononic Application-Specific Cooling Increases Performance in Next-Generation Optical Communications

The Future of Optical Communications is Cooled

The pandemic has catalyzed a long-term acceleration of network bandwidth for internet service and content providers. The digital transformation that has resulted from COVID-19 has truly touched all of our lives – it has changed the way we work, learn, consume media, visit the doctor and more. As more of the world is vaccinated and […]

100G Applications and Cooling Needs

100G refers to 100 Gigabit Internet. It is a computer networking technology that can transmit data at rates of 100 gigabits per second. As data demands grow year after year, demand for faster Internet speeds also increases. Optical networks, made up of fiber optic transceivers, switches and cables that transfer data, are capable of supporting […]

TEC (Thermoelectric Cooler) Applications

  TEC is an abbreviation for a thermoelectric cooler. A TEC is a semiconductor or solid state device that generates heating and cooling using the Peltier effect. Other names for a TEC include a Peltier device, a solid state refrigerator and a Peltier heat pump. A TEC can be used to remove heat across a […]
