Title: Lightmatter DWDM CPO: Enabling 100Tb/s+ Optical Engines
Presenter: Alexander Sludds, Staff Photonics Architect
Abstract: The demand for extreme-scale computing, intensified by the push toward increasingly capable AI systems, is driving the need for major advances in compute density and interconnect bandwidth. Co-packaged optics (CPO) offers a compelling path forward by closely integrating electronic compute elements with high-density photonic interconnects. At Lightmatter our Passage platform is addressing this need through optical engines with an order of magnitude more escape bandwidth than currently possible.
