Next-generation optical interconnects in data centres and artificial intelligence (AI) / large language model (LLM) clusters are facing a number of challenges due to factors such as increased bandwidth demand, the need for ultra-low latency, and high power consumption. The significant growth in data traffic from AI applications requires scalable and energy-efficient solutions, and integrating advanced optical technology with existing infrastructure can be complex. Ensuring reliability and durability under rigorous demands is essential, and balancing performance improvements with cost-effectiveness remains a critical hurdle for widespread adoption.
