MACOM Introduces Opto-Amp™ Product Line at SATELLITE 2025
MACOM Technology Solutions has announced a new Opto-Amp™ optical amplifier product line for free space optical (FSO) communications between satellites and ground networks. The technology leverages Erbium and Ytterbium materials to achieve enhanced output power and efficiencies.
The product line aims to improve connectivity between earth stations and various satellite networks including LEO, MEO, and GEO. MACOM will manufacture these high-power optical amplifiers in U.S.-based facilities, incorporating radiation tolerant design elements proven for harsh space environments.
The amplifiers support multiple modulation methods including non-return-to-zero (NRZ), pulse-position-modulation (PPL), burst-mode, and coherent modulation. Engineering samples are expected in late 2025.
MACOM Technology Solutions ha annunciato una nuova linea di prodotti di amplificatori ottici Opto-Amp™ per comunicazioni ottiche a spazio libero (FSO) tra satelliti e reti terrestri. La tecnologia sfrutta materiali di Erbio e Itterbio per ottenere una potenza di uscita e un'efficienza migliorate.
La linea di prodotti mira a migliorare la connettività tra le stazioni terrestri e vari network satellitari, tra cui LEO, MEO e GEO. MACOM produrrà questi amplificatori ottici ad alta potenza in stabilimenti situati negli Stati Uniti, incorporando elementi di design tolleranti alle radiazioni, collaudati per ambienti spaziali estremi.
Gli amplificatori supportano diversi metodi di modulazione, inclusi non-return-to-zero (NRZ), modulazione a posizione di impulso (PPL), modalità burst e modulazione coerente. I campioni ingegneristici sono attesi per la fine del 2025.

MACOM Technology Solutions hat eine neue Produktlinie von optischen Verstärkern Opto-Amp™ für die freie Raumoptik (FSO) Kommunikation zwischen Satelliten und Boden-Netzwerken angekündigt. Die Technologie nutzt Materialien aus Erbium und Ytterbium, um eine erhöhte Ausgangsleistung und Effizienz zu erreichen.
Die Produktlinie zielt darauf ab, die Konnektivität zwischen Erdstationen und verschiedenen Satellitennetzwerken, einschließlich LEO, MEO und GEO, zu verbessern. MACOM wird diese Hochleistungs-Optikverstärker in US-amerikanischen Einrichtungen herstellen und dabei strahlungstolerante Designelemente integrieren, die für raue Weltraumumgebungen erprobt sind.
Die Verstärker unterstützen mehrere Modulationsmethoden, einschließlich non-return-to-zero (NRZ), Pulspositionsmodulation (PPL), Burst-Modus und kohärente Modulation. Ingenieurexemplare werden Ende 2025 erwartet.
- Expansion into high-growth satellite communications market
- U.S.-based manufacturing capability
- Radiation-tolerant design for space applications
- Leverages existing expertise in optical RF over Fiber technology
- Product not available until late 2025
- Engineering samples still pending
“The Opto-Amp™ products are an exciting expansion to our portfolio,” said Stephen G. Daly, President and Chief Executive Officer, MACOM. “Our team has decades of experience designing and manufacturing optical RF over Fiber transmitters, which contain low power optical amplification. We are using this know-how to scale to higher power levels to produce small form factor high-performing optical amplifiers.”
As satellite networks continue to evolve, the demand for high volume, scalable solutions that surpass bandwidth requirements of legacy satellite technologies has never been greater. FSO technology, which employs non-return-to-zero (NRZ), pulse-position-modulation (PPL), burst-mode and coherent modulation to transmit and receive optical signals, requires proven solutions that can operate with high efficiency. MACOM is uniquely positioned to address these demands with its extensive expertise in telecommunications, data centers and space-based optical communications and full suite of optical components, linearizers and amplifier solutions.
The new high power optical amplifier will be manufactured in MACOM’s
