Leveraging LPO technology, the module provides ultra-low-latency, power-efficient optical links tailored for AI, high-performance computing, and hyperscale data center applications. An LPO (Linear Pluggable Optics) solution offers considerable power savings for optical interconnect by removing the digital signal processing (DSP) function from the pluggable optical module. According to the 2024 Report on U. S Data Center Energy Use, published by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, data centers account for 4. 4% of total electricity consumption in the U. in 2023, and are projecte to increase to 6. The idea is simple: instead of a DSP (digital signal processor) inside the module – replacing it with transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and a driver chip with high linearity and EQ capability – LPO shifts signal processing into. Copyright 2023, Coherent. It's all about the SerDes! One of the first myths is that LPO transceivers do something new, but in. LPO (Linear-drive Pluggable Optics) is a pluggable optical transceiver solution based on a linear-drive architecture.
