Lumentum Holdings (LITE), a market-leading designer and manufacturer of optical and photonic products, has announced equity awards for two newly hired executives. Michael Brooker, the new Chief Transformation Officer, received three types of RSU grants totaling 69,282 shares: a one-year vesting grant, a four-year vesting grant, and performance-based units for 2025-2027. John Bagatelos, the new Senior Vice President of Sales, received 46,188 shares through two grants: a four-year vesting RSU and performance-based units.

The performance-based RSUs could result in a payout between 0% and 200% based on achievement of specified goals. All grants were made on April 15, 2025, under Lumentum's 2025 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan, with vesting contingent on continued employment.

Lumentum unveiled new advancements in indium phosphide (InP) photonic chip technologies at OFC 2025, targeting higher bandwidth and power-efficient connectivity for AI-driven data centers. The company showcased innovations enabling 400 Gbps-per-lane optical links and more efficient 200 Gbps-per-lane optical links.

Key demonstrations include:

• 448G EML technology demonstrating 448 Gbps data transmission using 224 GBaud PAM4
• 450G PAM4 DFB-MZI showing 450 Gbps transmission with superior chirp control
• 200 Gbps-per-lane differential drive EML operating at lower drive voltage
• Ultra-high power 1310 nm DFB lasers for co-packaged optics

Notably, Lumentum was selected as an NVIDIA silicon photonics ecosystem partner, with their ultra-high-power lasers integrated into NVIDIA's Spectrum-X Photonics and Quantum-X Photonics networking switches.

Lumentum has announced the sampling of new 400/800G ZR+ L-band pluggable transceivers and general availability of its 800G ZR+ C-band module. The new L-band module effectively doubles the usable wavelength range and fiber capacity, delivering 800G data rates for data center interconnect and metro applications, while supporting 400G data rates in long-haul deployments.

The products will be demonstrated at the 2025 OFC Conference in San Francisco. The 400G ZR++ L-band module will be showcased alongside the TrueFlex® Micro Twin 2x34 integrated C and L Wavelength Selective Switch, presenting a comprehensive system-level solution. The pluggable modules are designed for direct router-to-router connectivity, reducing system complexity and cost while addressing global fiber shortages and supporting growing data traffic demands driven by AI and machine learning applications.

Lumentum and Marvell Technology have announced an industry-first demonstration integrating Marvell's 400G/per lane PAM4 technology with Lumentum's indium phosphide (InP) monolithically-integrated DFB-MZI optical transmitter. The showcase will be presented at OFC 2025 in San Francisco, April 1-3.

The demonstration features Lumentum's 450G PAM4 distributed feedback laser integrated with a Mach-Zehnder modulator, operating at 225 Gbaud. This integrated DFB-MZI solution provides performance advantages over silicon photonics architectures, particularly in signal integrity and efficiency. The collaboration aims to enable future-proof 3.2T optical transceivers for AI/ML workloads and cloud-scale networking infrastructure.

Lumentum Holdings will showcase its latest optical networking innovations at the OFC 2025 conference in San Francisco from March 30-April 3. The company will demonstrate advancements in high-speed data interconnect products, optical circuit switching (OCS), and high-power pump lasers.

Key highlights include the new R300 OCS, a 300x300 port solution for AI cluster interconnects, available in H2 2025, and the M2 Series 980 nm Pump Modules delivering 800-1800 mW output power. In collaboration with Keysight and NTT, Lumentum will demonstrate 448 Gbps data transmission using 224 GBaud PAM4 EML technology.

The company will feature three dedicated racks showcasing solutions for AI/ML networks, data center interconnects, and long-distance optical networks, including 800G and 1.6T optical transceivers, TrueFlex® Micro Twin WSS, and 800ZR/ZR+ modules.

Lumentum (LITE) has announced its R300 optical circuit switch (OCS) with 300x300 ports is currently sampling with multiple hyperscale customers, with general availability expected in second half of 2025. The breakthrough solution aims to enhance AI clusters and intra-data-center networks scalability.

The R300 OCS leverages Lumentum's MEMS optical switching technology, backed by over 1 trillion field mirror operating hours and hundreds of patents. The company estimates its OCS can reduce overall AI data center network power consumption by 65% or more in 100K-scale GPU deployments compared to traditional solutions.

Key benefits include: significant power savings, 5X to 10X lower latency versus Ethernet switching, ultra-wideband capability across O, C, or L optical bands, superior signal integrity, and enhanced reliability. According to Cignal AI, the OCS market is projected to surpass $1B by 2028, driven by AI and cloud network advancements.
