Applications of High-Priced Optical Modules
Data Centers: Optical modules enable high-speed data transfer between servers and storage systems, supporting cloud computing and big data analytics. From the invention of the laser in the 1960s to today's high-speed, multifunctional optical modules, the industry has undergone a spectacular transformation. Optical modules have a wide range of applications, with access network optical modules accounting for less than 15% of the market, including PON modules for wired access and 5G fronthaul modules for wireless base stations. We'll examine Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) and Linear Receive Optics (LRO) as cost-effective, low-power alternatives, discuss advanced cooling solutions tackling the heat challenges of high-speed modules, and explore game-changing paradigms like Co-Packaged Optics (CPO), Optical Input/Output.
