What is a coherent transceiver?

Read now

A coherent transceiver is an advanced optical communication module that transmits and receives data using coherent detection techniques. It combines high-speed lasers and sophisticated digital signal processing to modulate and demodulate signals, allowing for enhanced data transmission over long distances with high spectral efficiency. Coherent transceivers are particularly effective in mitigating signal degradation due to factors like dispersion and nonlinearity, making them ideal for modern optical networks [...]
