CPO is becoming key for AI scale-up optics, but hybrid bonding yield, thermal limits, and modulator materials still block 448G adoption. Which bottleneck matters most to you?

(a) SEM view of the sample. Inset: cross-section of the slab. A SNOM PL map evaluated at 1293 nm is overlapped with the SEM image. Different colors are used to highlight different photonic modes. (b) SNOM PL spectra normalized to the average PL of the entire map, acquired in correspondence with the four modes highlighted with different colors in (a). (c) Sketch of the nano-oxidation with SNOM probe. (d) SNOM PL spectra of the red and green modes previous and subsequent to oxidation. (e) Upper row: SNOM maps filtered at wavelength of the tuned mode before and after the oxidation process. Lower row: maps obtained through the Lorentzian fit of the PL red peak. The scale bars correspond to 1 µm

Same average brightness, different fluctuations? Explore a theory that maps correlations between light components to ellipsoids and tori. These are shapes in a mathematical space, not the beam's physical outline.

Concept illustration on a dark blue background: teal and gold waves, a transparent ellipsoid and a ring. Japanese text reads "For general readers," "What shapes are in the fluctuations of light?" and "Concept illustration." This is not a photograph or the physical outline of a beam.
