Passage EVK100 Demo: 16λ DWDM with Qualcomm DSPs

This demo showcases Lightmatter’s Passage EVK100 system, featuring a 16-wavelength DWDM unidirectional optical link delivering up to 1.6 Tbps per fiber using 112 Gbps PAM4 signaling.

The system is powered by Qualcomm optical DSPs and Lightmatter’s Guide 1 light engine, demonstrating a fully integrated high-bandwidth optical interconnect solution.

Running over 200 meters of single-mode fiber, the link maintains strong signal integrity with a bit error rate of 1e-5 or better.

What’s demonstrated:

• Bandwidth: 1.6 Tbps per fiber using 16λ DWDM
• Signaling: 112 Gbps PAM4 per wavelength
• Distance: 200m single-mode fiber link
• Performance: BER of 1e-5 or better
• Ecosystem: Qualcomm DSPs with Guide 1 light engine

This platform highlights how Lightmatter enables scalable, high-performance optical connectivity for next-generation data center infrastructure.
