Coherent will host a Technology Innovation Briefing on March 17, 2026, at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel during the OFC Conference. Presentations and a Q&A session will be led by CEO Jim Anderson, CTO Dr. Julie Eng, EVP Dr. Beck Mason and CMO Dr. Sanjai Parthasarathi, with a live webcast available.
2. Strategic Initiatives and Operational Outlook
Coherent is ramping 6-inch wafers and pursuing integration along with strategic divestitures to accelerate AI data center optics growth and expand margins.
