POET Technologies Inc., the designer and developer of the POET Optical Interposer™, Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) and light sources for the data center, tele-communication and AI markets, announced that it has expanded its partnership with Luxshare Technology Co. Ltd. to provide more optical module products targeted at AI network equipment and AI service providers. Luxshare Tech is a global leader in providing technology for data-communication facilities and enterprise-level products for some of the largest companies in the world.
Luxshare Tech and POET agreed to produce additional types of optical transceiver modules following the successful completion of the testing of 800G 2xFR4 OSFP modules using POET’s receive optical engines. These modules showed exceptional performance, which prompted Luxshare Tech and POET to adopt a broader range of POET’s optical engines into the Luxshare offerings.
The additional products will include POET’s transmit and receive optical engines for Luxshare’s 400G and 800G pluggable transceivers for single mode fiber applications. These state-of-the-art transceivers will combine POET’s industry-leading 100G/lane and 200G/lane optical engines with Luxshare Tech’s advanced optical module designs. The optical modules will be manufactured and sold globally by Luxshare Tech.

“Luxshare Tech is committed to providing our current and prospective customers with high-performance, low-cost transceivers and modules that deliver the power savings that are coveted by AI developers, data center hyperscalers, and the computing industry,” said Mike Gao, general manager of Luxshare Tech’s Opto-electronic business unit. “POET’s interposer-based optical engines have surpassed our expectations, and we anticipate that this partnership will continue to impress our customers. The solutions we are working on will deliver faster and more energy-efficient data communications within the next year.”
Selected POET optical engines will be integrated into existing Luxshare Tech products that are already on the market. Along with the 800G 2xFR4 OSFP module, Luxshare Tech is developing a series of DSP-based and linear pluggable optics products for 400G and 800G speeds using POET’s optical engines. These multiple projects will generate complete solutions that include transmit and receiver engines that are built on the POET Optical Interposer™ platform technology.
“We are delighted to deepen this partnership with Luxshare Tech to bring to market products that are hotly demanded by AI and datacom customers,” POET Chairman and CEO Dr. Suresh Venkatesan said. “To have one of the largest companies in our industry acknowledge the value that POET brings to their supply chain is validation of the commercial appeal of our products. POET has never been in a better position to see our disruptive platform technology deployed broadly in the marketplace.”
