Pilot Photonics
Enabling the Everything Over Optical™ Era
Products in Development
Fast and Low Linewidth Tunable Lasers
Our O-band and C-band tunable lasers, in butterfly and nano-ITLA packages, offer the unique trifecta of fast switching, wide tuning range, and low linewidth for coherent transceiver telecoms, data centre interconnects and FMCW LIDAR.
Integrated comb lasers
The integrated comb laser assembly (iCLA) enables coherent transceiver scaling by delivering four coherent wavelengths for modulation as well as next generation 5G/6G mobile by generating very high frequency carriers in mmWave and THz bands.
CW-WDM ELSFP
One module with laser arrays delivering up to 16 channels of 200 GHz CW-WDM wavelengths and the world’s first comb-enhanced External Laser Source (ExCELS). A unique combination of the best features of comb and laser arrays for cutting edge co-packaged optics.
Technologies
Gain Switched Comb Lasers
The patented gain switching technique creates a flexible comb of coherent wavelengths.
