Missed the @PhotonicsSpec Integrated Photonics Summit earlier this year? Watch the presentation by Steve Klinger titled “Solving the Interconnect Wall: Reliability & Serviceability for Next-Gen AI Clusters.”

His talk explores how high-bandwidth co-packaged optics (CPO) dramatically improves reliability by cutting component count compared to pluggables, and why the industry must shift from fragile, permanent fiber attachments to detachable, field-serviceable optical interfaces. youtube.com/watch?v=ubtJYu…

Congratulations to Darius Bunandar on being elected a 2027 Fellow of Optica by the Society's Board of Directors. This is well earned recognition from the global optics community. We are proud to have Darius join Nicholas Harris, who received this honor last year.

Copper limits how many GPUs you can connect in a scale-up domain. Optics extends the reach, but a single domain can still need 260,000 fibers and tens of thousands of connectors, and each one is a potential point of failure. In this video, we explain how bidirectional link architecture cuts the connectors and fibers in half: youtu.be/ZgB9nRi3-Bw
