LPO (Linear Pluggable Optics): By eliminating DSP processing, LPO achieves the lowest module power consumption, simplest design, and lower operating temperatures, delivering maximum efficiency and minimal latency. This technology emerged from the convergence of miniaturization trends in photonics, the demand for software-defined networking. having tripled in the past decade. According to the 2024 Report on U. S Data Center Energy Use, published by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, data centers account for 4. 4% of total electricity consumption in the U. in 2023, and are projecte to increase to 6. The. At OCP 2025, FiberMall delivered multiple presentations highlighting its progress in transceiver DSPs for AI applications, as well as LPO (Linear Pluggable Optics), LRO (Linear Receive Optics), and CPO (Co-Packaged Optics) technologies. The idea is simple: instead of a DSP (digital signal processor) inside the module – replacing it with transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and a driver chip with high linearity and EQ capability – LPO shifts signal processing into. Traditional optical modules relying on Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are hitting physical limits.
