Korea Advanced Materials said on the 15th that it participated in the CIOE 2025 (China International Optoelectronic Exposition) held in Shenzhen, China, on the 10th, revealed the technology strategies of its key product lines, and expanded its base for cooperation with overseas clients.
CIOE 2025 is a global optoelectronics and optical communications industry exhibition where about 3,800 corporations from more than 30 countries participate, with an exhibition area of 240,000㎡ and about 130,000 visitors.
At this exhibition, Korea Advanced Materials showcased three core technologies: ▲ a WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) product line strategy for advancing artificial intelligence (AI) data centers ▲ a plan to develop a new AWG with 75 GHz channel spacing ▲ unveiling a new optical interferometer model for quantum key distribution (QKD).
The company presented a plan to respond to changing demand in the data center and communications infrastructure markets through an advancement strategy for coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) and LAN-wavelength division multiplexing (LWDM) products. CWDM has the advantage of low power consumption and lower build expense, while LWDM uses a wider wavelength range to process high-volume data more reliably and quickly.
Korea Advanced Materials announced a plan to develop a new AWG with 75 GHz channel spacing aimed at next-generation network transitions and has begun initial consultations with global clients. It also unveiled a new optical interferometer for QKD and introduced interferometer technology applicable to electric vehicles and quantum networks in the lidar (Lidar) field. In addition, various product lines such as optical power meters and OTDRs (optical time-domain reflectometers) also drew attention, and technology-centered consultations were active on site, the company said.
A Korea Advanced Materials official said, "As the AI industry grows, demand for data centers is surging, and the optical communications industry is growing alongside it," and "we held in-depth meetings with global corporations at this exhibition."
