Described as the industry's first detachable fiber array unit (FAU), it helps to overcome scaling challenges associated with co-packed optics (CPO) in high-volume manufacturing environments.\n\n- Charlotte Trueman\n\nCompanies will be able to integrate vClick Optics directly into the wafer fabrication process to allow for earlier testing and validation in the product development lifecycle. Known as \"shift left,\" this approach has been found to reduce costs and improve yield across 3D-integrated circuits, chiplets, and CPO manufacturing.\n\nAccording to Lightmatter, the advantages of vClick Optics include high bandwidth DWDM and advanced packaging compatibility, automated assembly that removes the requirement of active fiber alignment, and field serviceability.\n\nCalifornia-based Lightmatter specializes in photonics-enabled technologies that use light instead of electrical signals for computing...",
