On March 22, 2023, IPEC and LightCounting will hold a global webinar titled "Linear Drive Enables Green All-Optical Connectivity for Data Centers." Experts from Meta, Huawei, NVIDIA, Ranovus, MACOM, Source Photonics, and Nubis Communications will be invited to share their views and discuss the key technical challenges of linear drive technology, whether it will meet market demands, and its future application scenarios. (1) In which scenarios will optical system solutions using linear drive technology most likely be first applied? (2) Does the linear pluggable solution differ from the CPO solution in terms of application scenarios? Will the linear pluggable optics solution affect CPO application progress? (3) Are there any prerequisites for applying linear drive technology to pluggable optics and CPO solutions? What are the key features? What is the current research progress? (4) Unlike the linear CPO integrated solution, the linear pluggable solution requires a series of analog interface standardization work. Due to tight optical-electrical coupling in its overall link performance, does the linear pluggable solution need more technical collaboration to ensure the construction of an open ecosystem that can be interconnected? What are the challenges in its future evolution?
