NewPhotonics: NPC50503 1.6T NPO laser integrated transmitter with integrated OSPic™ all-optical signal processor

The NewPhotonics NPC50503 CPO Chiplet with Integrated Optical Equalizer is a 1.6Tbps linear-drive, scale-up CPO/NPO engine solution that's designed to meet the most challenging link budgets in AI-Factory optical connectivity. The chiplet with highly integrated optical equalization can address signal integrity challenges associated with 224Gbps high-speed RF signals fanning out from GPU/Switch/Accelerator ASICs with CPO/NPO connectivity. An integrated programmable optical signal processor delivers signal equalization in the all-optical domain, dynamically shaping the transfer function to optimize each lane individually in real time, improving performance under varying RF impairments. Designed for CPO and NPO connectors, this small form factor is ideal for high-capacity switch/accelerator/ASICs that demand higher-density optical links in a small beachhead.

Judge’s comment: “This product fits in well with the trend towards CPO in the AI data center.”
