    AI data center optical demands boost revenue outlook for Lumentum, Coherent, and MACOM

    Question

    AI data center optical demands boost revenue outlook for Lumentum, Coherent, and MACOM

    Direct answer

    The deployment of large-scale AI accelerator clusters is shifting data center bottleneck constraints from raw compute to optical networking throughput. Suppliers Lumentum Holdings, Coherent Corp, and MACOM Technology Solutions are reporting strong order flows as hyperscalers upgrade to high-speed optical transceivers and laser components.
