Centera Photonics Announces First 1.6Tbps DR8 LPO Transceiver based on NewPhotonics® LPO+™ PIC with Integrated OSPic™ Optical Signal Processor

LOS ANGELES, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Centera Photonics Inc., a silicon photonics optical solution provider for data center interconnect, today announced its first 1.6Tbps DR8 LPO transceiver module featuring the NewPhotonics® NPG10203 1.6T LPO+™ PIC with integrated lasers, modulators, and OSPic™ optical signal processor.

The Centera 1.6Tbps DR8 LPO OSFP transceiver incorporates the NewPhotonics laser-enabled PIC in an ultra-low-power architecture optimized for the increasing interoperability and performance bandwidth demands of hyperscaler and AI-driven data centers scale-out interconnect.

"As AI workloads accelerate the demand for higher bandwidth and power efficient optical connectivity, our LPO pluggable will benchmark significant power savings and enable 1.6Tbps hyperscaler expansion" said Dr. KF Tsai, President of Centera Photonics

"We are witnessing 1.6T LPO come of age among hyperscalers prioritizing power efficiency and scalable optical architectures in scale-out networks," said Doron Tal, SVP & GM of Optical Connectivity at NewPhotonics. "Centera is accelerating the LPO transition from promise to production reality with our highly integrated, application-optimized LPO+ PIC that processes RF impairments in the optical domain in a laser-integrated, compact solution."
