Scaling CPO Testing Beyond A Single Die

Key Takeaways: Fiber alignment is the main bottleneck to optical engine testing, which would be alleviated significantly by multi-site probe cards. Optical connectors must be optimized for the best optical properties yet be mechanically robust to withstand assembly and use. Simultaneous loopback on both optical and electrical sides could simplify testing. Experts At The Table : The industry is forging a path from single-site to multi-site testing while system architectures and connector types co
