This technological transformation imposes higher requirements on upstream optical communication chips:
Performance: Transmission rate and energy efficiency need to be improved.
Technology: Breakthroughs are required to overcome high-density integration bottlenecks.
Reliability: Chips must meet the stringent operating conditions of data centers.
02. | In response to the technological shift, Everbright introduces the 200 mW Uncooled CW DFB Chip
In response to evolving technology demands, Everbright has fast-tracked the development of next-generation high-power, energy-efficient DFB chips. On September 10, the opening day of CIOE 2025, the company held a grand product launch at Booth 12C61 in the Optical Communication Expo, officially unveiling its latest 200 mW Uncooled CW DFB optical communication chip.
