- Solution provides best-in-class power and latency for the AI/ML
market
MaxLinear, Inc., a leading provider of high-speed interconnect
ICs enabling data center, metro, and wireless transport networks,
and Optomind (headquartered in Korea, with high-volume
manufacturing in Vietnam), today announce the demonstration of 800G
half re-timed linear receive optics (LRO) optical modules and AOCs
leveraging Optomind’s patented optical assembly capabilities and
MaxLinear’s Keystone Multimode 5nm 800G Tx-ONLY DSP with integrated
VCSEL drivers. The technology will be demonstrated at the Optical
Fiber Communication (OFC) Conference in San Diego from March 26-28,
2024 at MaxLinear’s booth (4501).

800G half re-timed LRO optical modules and AOCs play a crucial
role in enabling ultra-high-speed data transmission over optical
fiber networks, meeting the growing demand for bandwidth in modern
communication and computing systems. The LRO design involves a
partial re-timing of the received optical signal to improve its
quality and reliability. In active optical cables, this eliminates
the need for separate transceivers and optical connectors,
providing a cost-effective and robust solution for short-reach
optical connections. The demonstration at OFC2024 will showcase an
LRO optical module/AOC solution with significantly reduced latency
and best-in-class power consumption for an 800G transceiver.
“The AI/ML market demands solutions with lowest possible power
and latency to scale effectively,” said Drew Guckenberger, VP of
High Speed Interconnect at MaxLinear. “LRO solutions are one
vehicle to achieve those goals. Through our continued, strong
partnership with Optomind, we are pleased to be able to quickly
provide a volume capable LRO solution for our key customers,
addressing their real, immediate needs in the space.”
Optomind's groundbreaking optical engine solution integrates
optics and mechanics seamlessly, boasting distinctive designs and a
simplified structure for enhanced efficiency. With its patented
prealigned OSA architecture, Optomind revolutionizes manufacturing
processes, eliminating the need for complex alignment equipment.
This innovative approach promises to be a game-changer in
ultra-high volume production, offering significant cost reductions
and streamlining operations with its nimble and straightforward
methodology.
“Today we are pleased to show our leadership in the burgeoning
AI/ML market,” said Yung Son, Chief Marketing Officer at Optomind.
“Leveraging our existing partnership with MaxLinear to build LRO
optical modules and AOCs allows us to, once again, provide
best-in-class solutions for our customers.”
Optomind (booth 5822) and MaxLinear (booth 4501) will both be
exhibiting at the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) Conference in
San Diego from March 26-28, 2024.
