Nubis Communications, a world-class expertise in silicon photonics, digital and analog IC design, as well as electronic and optical packaging, demonstrates its XT1600™ optical engine at the OFC conference and tradeshow in San Diego. This product is the first optical engine optimized for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (ML/AI) networks with the record-breaking density and ultra low power that these advanced applications require. The XT1600™ engine is optimized for un-retimed direct-drive operation to dramatically lowers the power, size, and cost of the solution.

The XT1600 achieves its record-breaking density while maintaining fully flexible fiber fan-out. With a total capacity of 1.6 Tbps optical transmit and 1.6 Tbps optical receive carried over 16 single-mode fiber pairs, the XT1600 enables flexible port and link assignments as may be needed by system and network designs ranging from sixteen independent 100-Gbps full-duplex channels, four separate 400 Gbps full-duplex channels, two 800 Gbps full-duplex channels or a single point-to-point 1.6Tbps link.
