Co‐packaged datacenter optics: Opportunities and challenges

Co‐packaged datacenter optics: Opportunities and challenges

Abstract High‐capacity, high‐density, power‐, and cost‐efficient optical links are undoubtedly of critical importance for datacenter infrastructure. However, the optics roadmap has come to a fork in the road: Is it right to continue on the tried and proven path of pluggable modules or is it time to...
