Bijan Nowroozi, Head of Ecosystem Development at Lightmatter, and Janos Veres, Senior Director of Assembly & Test Technologies at Flex, present a groundbreaking optical switching system developed through the Open Compute Project (OCP) work stream.
The demonstration showcases a 1RU form factor switch capable of 200 terabits per second of throughput—a density the presenters indicate is unprecedented in the industry. The system addresses critical challenges in AI infrastructure through innovations in high-density laser systems, modular manufacturing approaches, and 100% optical interconnection using V-click optics technology. Nowroozi and Veres discuss the collaborative development process that bridges manufacturing scales from microns to meters, and outline the next phase of community-driven specification development.
