The rapid evolution of AI models is creating a moving target for infrastructure.

In the latest episode, Lumentum CTO Matt Sysak reflects on how rapidly changing are shaping demand for:

🔹 More interconnect and
🔹 Faster, more efficient technologies
🔹 Solutions that can scale while balancing power and cost

As Matt shares, meeting that demand is not only about adding capacity but reimagining how we build things.

networks are driving fundamental changes in optical infrastructure, requiring not only higher bandwidth, but also more dynamic and reconfigurable connectivity.

Optical Circuit Switches (OCSs) are emerging as an important technology for enabling scalable AI fabrics; MEMS mirrors are at the core of that evolution.

In this new blog post, Sheldon McLaughlin explains why Lumentum’s MEMS-based optical switching is uniquely suited for AI data centers, combining low optical loss, protocol transparency, scalable radix, and decades of proven reliability across large-scale optical networks.

workloads are changing the scaling assumptions behind modern data center networks. At North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) 97, our own Christian Urricariet will discuss how bandwidth density, power, thermal, and fiber-management constraints are influencing AI network architecture as clusters continue to scale.

The session examines architectural approaches that operators are evaluating today, including co-packaged optics, external laser sources, and optical circuit switching, along with the trade-offs these approaches introduce in large-scale AI environments.

Still thinking about OFC 2026?

A major theme at this year’s OFC Conference was the future of optical infrastructure, which continues to shape industry conversations.

We’re sharing two perspectives on OFC and where AI infrastructure is headed next.

🔹 In Part 1, Loukas Paraschis breaks down key market trends at the conference, including new optical scale-up initiatives and the growing influence that total cost of ownership (TCO) will have on deployment at scale: https://bit.ly/4nC3aJX

🔹 In Part 2, Christian Urricariet explores how those trends translate into real technologies - highlighting the path beyond 1.6T, advances in co-packaged optics ( ) and EMLs, and the expanding role of VCSELs and optical circuit switching ( ): https://bit.ly/4nqBtne

Demand driven by data centers isn’t slowing down, and neither is the need for the infrastructure powering it.

This morning, CEO Michael Hurlston joined Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo to discuss how hyperscale AI investments are driving Lumentum’s strong performance and multi-year outlook – with the ongoing shift from copper to optics solidifying ’s strong position as we do business with hyperscalers.

As demand for our optical technologies continues to outpace supply, our investment from has enabled us to expand our capacity in and hire more skilled workers to help meet demand.
