Why NVIDIA Sees Co-Packaged Optics as the Future of AI Networking

As AI infrastructure scales toward clusters containing hundreds of thousands—or eventually millions—of accelerators, networking is rapidly becoming the industry’s most critical bottleneck. While GPUs remain the centerpiece of AI computing, the ability to move data efficiently between those processors increasingly determines overall system performance.

Why Lumentum Became a Critical AI Optical Interconnect Supplier

Sat, 23 May 2026 10:26:05 +0800

Why Lumentum Became a Critical AI Optical Interconnect Supplier

For years, many investors and technology observers mistakenly categorized Lumentum as a LiDAR company. The confusion largely stemmed from its historical involvement with VCSEL technology used in smartphone 3D sensing and the similarity of its name to automotive LiDAR vendors such as Luminar and Hesai. In reality, Lumentum has always been fundamentally a photonics and optical communications company.

NVIDIA Invests $3.2B in Corning to Power AI Optical Networks
