  • CPO optical module packaging

    CPO optical module packaging

    Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) is a technology and design approach where optical components, such as lasers and photodetectors, are integrated alongside electrical components, like Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), within the same package. As data demands grow, these systems face limitations such as bandwidth constraints, latency issues, and space limitations. These pressures are driving renewed momentum behind co-packaged optics (CPO). According to LightCounting, sales of lasers and photonic integrated circuits for optical transceivers are expected to grow from $2. 9B by 2029, fueled largely by AI data centers. They make the signal path much shorter, from centimeters to millimeters. This can cut power use by up to half. SCALE CPO solution is the industry's first OCI MSA capable platform and built with GF's proven silicon photonics technology MALTA, N.
