    "excerpt": "Lightmatter launches liquid-cooled Laser NIC to quadruple AI optical interconnect density\n\n* 2026.05.22\n* 14:48\n* Commercial Times by Li Juanping\n\nPhotonics computing startup Lightmatter on 22nd unveiled the new Guide DR Laser NIC (LNIC), featuring a liquid-cooled high-density laser source design and a modular architecture compliant with the OCP NIC 3.0 specification, aiming to solve the front-panel bottleneck in AI data centers under co-packaged optics (CPO) and near-packaged optics (NPO) architectures.\n\nGuide DR moves the laser source inside the chassis with a liquid-cooled structure, supporting up to 51.2 Tbps optical switching bandwidth per module. With four modules configured in a 1RU switch, total bandwidth reaches 204.8 Tbps, suitable for AI scale-up clusters in CPO and NPO architectures.\n\nAs AI infrastructure continues to expand, traditional front-panel light sources have become a limiting factor. The new architecture provides higher optical power and bandwidth in a limited space. Product sampling is expected to begin in Q4 2026.",
