Co-packaged optics (CPO) is revolutionizing data center and high-performance computing interconnects by integrating optical engines directly with switching ASICs. This whitepaper offers a detailed, engineer-level exploration of CPO, covering both the technological benefits and the rigorous testing requirements needed to ensure performance and reliability.

In this whitepaper, you will discover:

1. The key drivers for CPO adoption — power efficiency, bandwidth scaling, signal integrity, and form-factor optimization

2. How photonic integrated circuits (PICs) enable compact, high-density optical I/O in CPO architectures

3. Thermal challenges in co-packaged designs and best practices for thermal management during testing

4. Testing strategies for CPO modules: measuring insertion loss, return loss, polarization effects, crosstalk, and more

5. Advanced measurement solutions: how Santec’s tunable lasers, polarization synthesizers, power meters, and swept analyzers (e.g., STS system, SPA-110) can be integrated into high-precision CPO validation setups

6. Practical tips for building an automated, repeatable test flow that addresses the unique trade-offs of co-packaged optics

Whether you're developing PICs for production, characterizing module-level performance, or optimizing test processes for yield and scale, this guide shows how Santec’s measurement instruments support every aspect of CPO development.
