Testing Silicon Photonics At Scale

Artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) are driving unprecedented demand for data movement. As bandwidth requirements climb and conventional electrical interconnects encounter limitations in power consumption, latency and reach, silicon photonics, near-packaged optics (NPO), and co-packaged optics (CPO) are becoming increasingly important technologies for next-generation data centers. Much of the industry’s attention has focused on photonic device innovation. But demons
