The 100G-DR-LPO specification by the LPO (Linear Pluggable Optics) MSA defines 100 Gb/s/lane 53. 125 GBd PAM4 optical interfaces, optical links using standard single-mode fiber with up to 500 m reach, and host-module electrical interfaces for hosts with DSP based. An LPO (Linear Pluggable Optics) solution offers considerable power savings for optical interconnect by removing the digital signal processing (DSP) function from the pluggable optical module. This architecture takes advantage of the capabilities in each segment of the link to form a power, cost. Leveraging LPO technology, the module provides ultra-low-latency, power-efficient optical links tailored for AI, high-performance computing, and hyperscale data center applications. 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.
