“400G-per-lane is a prime example of where the advantages of TFLN become clear,” said Mian Zhang, CEO of HyperLight. “While 400G-per-lane pushes the limits of many technologies from a bandwidth perspective, TFLN provides ample bandwidth margin while maintaining low drive voltage. This enables excellent manufacturability while significantly reducing module power.”
