ECOC 2025 – [Copenhagen, September 28] – [Innolume GmbH a pioneer in Quantum Dot (QD) laser technology, and Genuine Optics (US), a top global Optics supplier, today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a strategic collaboration focused on high-reliability QD-based 1.6 Terabit/sec (1.6T) modules.

Under this partnership, the companies will:

· Officially release 1.6T QD-based Transceivers, with a live demonstration at ECOC 2025.

· Co-develop 1.6T QD-based Transceivers modules, leveraging [Innolume GmbH]’s industry-leading QD technology and Genuine Optics’ expertise in Silicon Photonics module design, integration, testing and scale manufacturing.

· The joint development efforts will culminate in mass production at Genuine Optics’ facility in Thailand ensuring a robust and scalable supply chain to serve global customers.

Quantum Dot lasers have significant performance advantages over more traditional quantum well lasers used broadly in the industry. QD lasers can operate at higher temperatures, are more efficient reducing power consumption of the module, and are immune to optical reflection which reduces module complexity and cost. Genuine Optics’ new 1.6T modules take advantage of these features to enhance customers’ goals of lower power use and reduced cost in data center optics. 

"This partnership is a milestone in delivering the efficient optics required for next-generation AI hardware."

— Genuine Optics CEO Madhav Bhatta

"We are thrilled to combine our expertise with Innolume to bring this powerful solution to the market."

— Alexey Kovsh, CEO of Innolume GmbH
