Optical transceivers can beat the heat in the era of high-speed data centers


The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models has led to a surge in demand for high-speed optical transceivers within data centers and AI cluster computers. With transceiver speeds scaling from 100 Gbps to 400 Gbps to 800 Gbps, and future roadmaps pointing beyond 1.6 Tbps, efficient thermal management is critical to ensure performance, reliability, and energy efficiency.
