Optical Modules in Artificial Intelligence

Optical modules convert electrical signals into light to move data quickly and reliably in AI systems, enabling fast and smooth data processing. The relentless surge of Artificial Intelligence (AI), encompassing everything from large language models like ChatGPT to real-time computer vision and autonomous systems, is fundamentally reshaping industries. Yet, beneath the sophisticated algorithms lies a critical, often unsung, physical. Although co-packaged optics (CPO) and on-board optics (OBO) have been proposed to increase bandwidth density, these approaches introduce significant challenges in field serviceability, scalability, and manufacturability, making them difficult to deploy widely in hyperscale environments. Optics has long been a cornerstone of scientific advancement. From telescopes that peer into distant galaxies to fiber-optic. MALTA, N., May 5, 2026 — GlobalFoundries (GF) has introduced an optical module solution for co-packaged optics (CPO).
