5. Sensing with Coherent Light and LiDAR
Laser linewidth is the finite spectral width related to phase fluctuations in emitted laser light. A lower linewidth implies a purer laser frequency. If a laser’s phase noise is zero, it has a single pure frequency, which is just a line in the frequency domain. Ergun Canoglu, PhD and Director of Sensor Products is interviewed by John Houghton.

4. Linewidth as a Critical Parameter for Coherent Communications Systems
Why narrow laser linewidth, which implies low phase noise, is a critical parameter for lasers used in coherent systems. Winston Way, PhD and Chief Technical Officer at NeoPhotonics is interviewed by John Houghton.

3. Increasing Fiber Capacity with Coherent Detection and Spectrum Expansion
How to get more bandwidth through existing fiber by using optical coherent detection and optical spectrum expansion technologies. Winston Way, PhD and Chief Technical Officer at NeoPhotonics is interviewed by John Houghton.
9 May 2020
2. Data Center Connectivity: Why is 400ZR important?
Description: Discussion of network traffic between data centers, why bandwidth capacity is running short, and how NeoPhotonics 400ZR modules can help. John Houghton interviews Marc Stiller, VP of Lineside Product Management.
