The growing complexity of AI large models has increased model parameters, driving up demands for high - speed data transmission in global network infrastructure. Features like high-speed, large-bandwidth, low latency, and reliable connections are now essential, necessitating advanced all-optical networks between intelligent computing centers. 

High-speed optical technologies (400G/800G/1.6T) power intelligent computing clusters, upgrading data center interconnections. Rising AI computing needs are pushing internal networks of computing centers to higher speeds, with 800G/1.6T optical modules becoming more common. Technologies like LPO and liquid cooling cut optical module costs and power use while handling high - density data center heat. Optical chips, key to optical communication, are improving, aided by advanced packaging methods such as silicon photonics and CPO/NPO/LPO. 

Despite progress, optical communication faces hurdles. Overcoming latency and Shannon limits in single-mode fibers for faster, longer-range data transfer is urgent. Fiber attenuation over distance weakens signals, making reducing loss and extending range a key research area. Also, inconsistent interfaces and standards among manufacturers limit system interoperability, so standardizing systems and improving compatibility remain important research directions.

In this context, CIOE, along with the optical communication industry chain, is hosting the 2025 Information and Communication Industry Development Forum. The forum will focus on hot topics such as key optical transmission technologies in the context of AI/ML, diversified applications of 10G optical networks, new optical technologies for ultra-large-scale intelligent computing clusters, and high-performance chip integration and manufacturing process solutions.
