Mitsui & Co. Global Strategic Studies Institute  \n\n| Why This Technology? |\n| --- |\n| 2026 will mark the year when co-packaged optics (CPO), a form of optoelectronic integration, enters the full-scale mass production and practical roll-out phase. As power consumption continues to surge with the rapid expansion of AI data centers, expectations are high that CPO will dramatically improve power efficiency and curtail energy usage. A wave of product launches is underway, led by companies such as Broadcom (US) and Nvidia (US) . While in Japan, NTT (Japan) has begun providing commercial samples based on its IOWN concept 1. With major players moving to release products simultaneously, 2026 is likely to become a critical inflection point marking the start of competition for leadership in the next-generation AI infrastructure sector. |\n| Summary |\n| ⚫ CPO technology places electro-optical conversion functions—traditionally located away from the processor—in close proximity to the processor. By shortening the distances that electrical signals must travel, the technology significantly reduces power consumption, boosts data transmission capacity, and lowers latency.\u003Cbr>⚫ Fully realizing CPO requires advanced packaging technology. As such, silicon foundries and OSAT companies such as TSMC (Taiwan) are increasing in importance, driving the formation of an ecosystem that encompasses these companies.\u003Cbr>⚫ While challenges including heat management and the complexity of maintenance remain, Japanese companies possess advantages in optical packaging technologies and the component material sector, which present the keys to resolving these issues. Japanese companies are therefore expected to play central roles in nextgeneration AI infrastructure through active collaboration with major manufacturers in Japan and overseas. |\n| 1． What is CPO?\u003Cbr>With the widespread use of generative AI, enhancing the computing capacity of data centers has become an urgent priority. Increasing communication speeds is a critical factor in boosting computing performance, alongside semiconductor miniaturization and other factors. However, under conventional methods in which most signals are transmitted electrically across server circuit boards2, higher speeds exacerbate signal attenuation and noise, and compensating for these effects results in substantial power consumption. As optical transmission incurs far less energy loss during transmission than electrical signals, replacing electrical signal transmission with optical signal transmission is expected to resolve these power consumption challenges, and the collective term for such technologies is optoelectronic integration. In recent years, CPO, a type of optoelectronic integration technology, has attracted particular attention.\u003Cbr>1 An abbreviation of Innovative Optical and Wireless Network. The IOWN concept, put forth by NTT, is a next-generation communications infrastructure initiative that seeks to transform the entire information infrastructure—from networks through to computing—with a focus on optical technology to achieve ultra-high capacity, ultra-low latency, and ultra-low power consumption.\u003Cbr>2 Circuit boards are substrates with wiring on its surface or interior, onto which chips, capacitors, connectors, and numerous other electronic components are soldered. |\n\n1-1. Technology  \nOptoelectronic integration progresses in stages depending on where electrical signals are replaced with optical signals. It is expected that, ultimately, even extremely short-distance inter-die3 connections will be made optical, and as an intermediate step toward that goal, CPO technology places electrooptical conversion functions in very close proximity to the processor (e.g., CPU, GPU, ASIC) within communication devices that link together boards.
