SAXONBURG, Pa., Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a global leader in photonics, today announced the successful demonstration of a next-generation meta-wire based wire grid polarizer (WGP) designed for integration into optical isolators for high-speed datacom transceivers. The rapid adoption of AI is driving demand for faster optical transceivers with advanced components like polarizers to ensure stable, high-quality signals. The new non-absorptive wire grid polarizer from Coherent supports higher power levels in a smaller footprint, enabling high-density networking while integrating seamlessly with our polarization diversity and garnet-based components. "Our new wire grid polarizer sets a benchmark by guaranteeing the best absorptive polarizer performances at lower cost," said Steve Rummel, Senior Vice President, Engineered Materials at Coherent. Attendees are invited to visit the Coherent booth at C3124 to learn more about this breakthrough technology and explore how Coherent can power the future of datacom innovation.
