Thermal Management Built for 800G & 400G Optical Modules

Keep lasers cool, wavelengths stable, and signals clean. Our polymer thermal interface materials bridge the gap between high-power optical transceivers and their heatsinks—cutting thermal resistance where every degree counts.

Thermal Management Challenges in High-Speed Optical Modules

As data rates climb from 400G to 800G and beyond, power density inside QSFP-DD and OSFP form factors rises sharply. DSP chips, laser drivers and TOSA/ROSA assemblies now dissipate 12–20 W in a tiny, sealed enclosure—while the optics themselves are highly temperature-sensitive. Even small thermal gradients cause wavelength drift, higher bit-error rates, and shortened laser lifespan. Efficiently moving heat from the module case to the cage, riding heatsink or cold plate is now mission-critical for data center and AI cluster reliability.

  • Data Center & AI Clusters

    High-density switch faceplates pack hundreds of 800G modules side by side. Our low-thermal-resistance TIMs pull heat into riding heatsinks without stressing delicate optical components.

Help

It depends on your gap size and assembly process. Ultra-soft thermal pads suit uniform gaps and protect fragile optics with low mounting force; thermal grease gives the thinnest bond line for high-volume automated lines; gap fillers handle uneven geometries and larger tolerances (e.g. OSFP cases to cold plates). We’re happy to recommend the right option for your design.

By filling air gaps between the module case and heatsink, a low-thermal-resistance interface typically lowers case and laser temperatures by several degrees. This directly improves wavelength stability, reduces bit-error rates, and extends laser diode lifespan.

No. Our ultra-soft, highly compressible formulations conform to the surface at minimal mounting pressure, so they relieve rather than add mechanical stress. Low-outgassing polymers also protect sensitive optical components over the module’s full service life.

Yes. Our dispensable grease and form-in-place gap fillers are optimized for automated, high-throughput assembly, delivering thin, uniform bond lines unit after unit—ideal for data center and telecom manufacturing at scale.
