Cornell researchers have built a programmable optical chip that can change the color of light by merging photons, without requiring a new chip for new colors. This form of nonlinear photonics could ...

The growth of AI and machine learning applications has necessitated the development of high-performance interconnection solutions between large ASICs and linear optical modules. To meet these ...

Broadcom Inc. today debuted two new chips, the Sian3 and Sian2M, that data center operators can use to power their optical networks. Optical networks are often used to link together the servers in ...

An optical fibre technology can help chips communicate with each other at the speed of light, enabling them to transmit 80 times as much information as they could using traditional electrical ...

In data centers, pluggable optical transceivers are critical for managing the massive flow of data required by AI, converting electrical signals into photons, slinging them between server racks, and ...

Why co-packaged optics (CPO) are needed in high-performance computing (HPC). How IBM delivers CPO. What CPO means for HPC applications like artificial intelligence and machine learning. Providing high ...

POET Technologies is climbing the value ladder, transitioning from supplying optical engines to offering full optical transceiver modules. Its optical interposer combines photonic and electronic parts ...

Researchers at Tsinghua University developed the Optical Feature Extraction Engine (OFE2), an optical engine that processes data at 12.5 GHz using light rather than electricity. Its integrated ...

Spun off from a laboratory at Inha University in South Korea, PhotoniSol, a dynamic startup, is leading the charge in silicon photonic integrated devices. The company focuses on commercializing a ...

Co-packaged optics (CPOs) promise five times the bandwidth of pluggable connections, but the new architecture requires multiple changes to accommodate different applications. The Optical ...

Linear pluggable optics (LPO) is garnering more attention as a way to quickly and efficiently move data in and out of server racks, but a lack of standards for connecting the optical modules is ...
