ams OSRAM joins Credo-led OCP optical interconnect standardization effort

ams OSRAM has joined the Short-Reach Micro-Emitter Optics (SRMO) workstream within the Open Compute Project, led by Credo. The initiative aims to standardize "wide-and-slow" optical interconnects for AI data centers, offering 20-30x the reach of copper at comparable bandwidth density and energy efficiency, with a common specification targeted for OCP approval in 2027.

• SRMO workstream sets optical interconnect standards for AI data centers
• Wide-and-slow optics deliver 20-30x copper reach at similar density
• Common specification targeted for OCP approval in 2027
• ams OSRAM contributes microLED and 850 nm microVCSEL arrays
