LPO and CPO: A Pivotal Shift and Synergistic Evolution
Optical transceivers, optical DSPs (oDSPs), and switch ASICs are the core components of data center optical interconnects. The emergence of LPO
This article provides a comprehensive overview of CPO optical modules, exploring their technology, benefits, challenges, and the pivotal role they play in future data centers and AI infrastructure. Today, data centers use a separate approach for optics and electronics, in which optical modules are connected to switches and routers through high-speed electrical interfaces. As data demands grow, these systems face limitations such as bandwidth constraints, latency issues, and space limitations.
