A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications network that uses only unpowered devices to carry signals, as opposed to electronic equipment. In practice, PONs are typically used for the last mile between Internet service providers (ISP) and their customers. Instead of running a separate fiber strand to every home or office, a PON shares a single fiber using optical.

For TDM-PON, a passive optical splitter is used in the optical distribution network. In the upstream direction, each ONU (optical network units) or ONT (optical network terminal) burst transmits for an assigned time-slot (multiplexed in the time domain). Passive Optical Network (PON) is a point-to-multipoint optical access technology. Passive, in this context, refers to the unpowered condition of the fiber and splitting/combining.

A passive optical network consists of an optical line terminal (OLT) at the service provider's central office (hub), passive (non-power-consuming) optical splitters, and a number of optical network units (ONUs) or optical network terminals (ONTs), which are near end users. A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications network that uses only unpowered devices to carry signals, as opposed to electronic equipment. In practice, PONs are typically used for the last mile between Internet service providers (ISP) and their customers. PON (Passive Optical Network) refers to a fiber optic network built using a point-to-multipoint topology and fiber.

Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) is a technology and design approach where optical components, such as lasers and photodetectors, are integrated alongside electrical components, like Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), within the same package. As datacenters strive to meet escalating demands for efficiency and bandwidth, particularly with the integration of AI and ML technologies, optics is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of interconnect architecture and performance. Today, we'll share a brief overview of the history of copper and optical interconnects used in data centers, the limitations of existing interconnect solutions, and the future of co-packaged optics. Explore the IP that enables high-performance, scalable AI systems Copper has a major presence in.
