In the article, Adam states that integrated photonics technology, like that of OpenLight, is enhancing data transmission capabilities to allow speeds of 200G per lane and beyond. This advancement will revolutionize datacenter and telecommunication architectures. It is a much-needed response to the increasing bandwidth requirements of AI and ML as well as their huge market growth rates.

PICs are the solution. Achieving 200G per lane marks an important advancement in data transmission speeds. PICs also reduce costs by 50% by utilizing a silicon foundry process instead of a conventional, optical sub-assembly. However, surpassing 200G involves addressing additional challenges, including thermal management, power efficiency, signal integrity, and manufacturing scalability. These are further complicated by increasingly complex chip designs, new materials, and interconnect technologies.

OpenLight is at the forefront of reshaping datacenter and telecommunication architectures, for next generation AI and ML and beyond.
