Multimode optics, including multimode VCSEL-based transceivers and multimode fiber, have been dominating data center short-reach links. Why? Because they can offer: Lower link costs Less power consumption Higher resistance to fiber misalignment and dirt at connections There are innovations in multimode optics on the horizon that will address many challenges, helping maintain and improve the appeal of multimode optics in the years to come. Let’s discuss them here.
