$VUZI Why Data Centers Need Optical Interconnects
Rising Power Demands: Data centers used roughly 4.4% of U.S. electricity in 2023, and that share could triple by 2028. [1]
Electrical Bottlenecks: Traditional copper and electrical links generate heavy heat and consume high amounts of power over short distances. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The Optical Shift: Co-packaged optics and near-package optics markets are projected to surge significantly as data centers search for energy-saving architecture. [1, 2]
How Vuzix Waveguides Help
Parallel Channels: Current demonstration designs evaluate up to 19,200 parallel optical channels across a 30-millimeter path.
Nanoimprint Manufacturing: Built at the company's New York facility using precise nanoimprint lithography originally scaled for augmented reality smart glasses.
Direct Testing: Partners can test insertion loss, crosstalk, and signal coupling using the newly released evaluation kits.
