• Linear Drive Pluggable Optics (LPO)

LPO technology seems to be a mature but transitional product that can reduce power consumption without replacing the plug-and-play architecture, so it still seems to be a commercially viable solution. Due to the high difficulty of Common Package Optical (CPO) technology, there are still many difficulties that lead to a large number of mass production, so in the OFC2023 exhibition Macom, Broadcom, Arista and many other vendors to introduce linear drive pluggable optical modules. The difference between this module and the traditional pluggable optical communication module is that it abandons the DSP and CDR chips, and integrates the functions of the two into the switch chip, leaving only the highly linear
