Weike Cup·OFweek 2026 Optical Industry Annual Innovation Product Award

Product Name:

TSL-570 TypeU Ultra-High Power Tunable Laser

Product Launch Year/Development Background:

2026/The exponential rise in AI computing power is driving Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) technology to become a core sector in optical communications. As a key technology to address computing power transmission bottlenecks, the demand for full-link testing from R&D to mass production of CPO has surged. The multiple loss challenges introduced by optical signal splitting in CPO systems urgently require high-power, high-precision laser test sources. The Santec TSL-570 TypeU Ultra-High Power Tunable Laser meets this demand, offering over three times the power breakthrough, making it an ideal solution for CPO and silicon photonics testing.

Product Brief Description:

The TSL-570 Type U is a high-performance tunable laser providing ultra-high optical output power exceeding 25 dBm. Designed specifically for Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and advanced silicon photonics applications, its significantly enhanced output power meets the demands of next-generation photonic systems. Driven by the expansion of artificial intelligence, data centers, and high-performance computing architectures, the CPO and silicon photonics markets are experiencing rapid growth. CPO systems require splitting optical signals into multiple waveguides, introducing significant splitting, coupling, and waveguide losses. These challenges have created an urgent need for high-power, wavelength-tunable laser sources to enable precise and repeatable device characterization. Through optimized resonator design and advanced control circuitry, the TSL-570 Type U achieves over three times the optical output power of the previous TSL-570 model. With this breakthrough, the TSL-570 Type U becomes an ideal solution for CPO and silicon photonics evaluation, supporting a wide range of applications from R&D to large-scale manufacturing test environments.

Key Innovation Points:

The core innovation of the TSL-570 Type U lies in optimizing the resonator and control circuitry, tripling the output power compared to its predecessor, effectively addressing various link losses in CPO systems. The product combines ultra-high power, high precision, and high stability, while supporting wide-range wavelength tuning, high-speed scanning, and fine-tuning. Designed specifically for CPO and advanced silicon photonics applications, it meets the demands of multi-waveguide parallel testing, fully adapting to device R&D, mass production testing, and other full-process scenarios.

Reasons for Participation:

The TSL-570 Type U, participating in this selection, enhances output power by optimizing the cavity and control circuitry, offsetting splitting, coupling, and waveguide losses in CPO testing. The device offers reliable precision, stability, and comprehensive tuning functions, suitable for full-process testing in CPO and advanced silicon photonics R&D and mass production.
