Guide 1
Lasers redefined for the CPO era.
Guide™ 1 is more than a laser; it is the industry’s first External Light Source (ELS). Designed to fuel the most demanding AI fabrics, Guide 1 consolidates massive optical power into a single, software-defined source—eliminating the “laser farm” bottleneck that has constrained the industry for a decade.

16λ DWDM Output
Guide 1 features a tight O-band wavelength grid centered at 1310 nm. Each module supports interleaved sets of 8 wavelengths per fiber, enabling efficient bidirectional communication layouts across 32 fibers in a stacked configuration.
≥100 mW Per Fiber
Guide 1 is built on a tile-based architecture, with each module containing up to 16 tiles. This modularity enables scalable output, ranging from 1.6W in a single package up to 3.5W in a stacked configuration.
Software-Defined Precision.
Stability is the primary enemy of optical performance. Guide 1 features an integrated controller that maintains sub-GHz wavelength precision through active thermal management and real-time closed-loop control.
Through a standard CMISE-compliant interface, Guide 1 provides deep telemetry into laser health, power levels, and spectral stability—giving you total control over your optical infrastructure from the software layer.
