DNP and PITC partner to advance co-packaged optics

Geopolitics and the notion that they can’t solve everything on their own have prompted Japanese companies in recent years to seek collaboration even in the field of technology. The partnership of DNP with TNO at the High Tech Campus Eindhoven might look small from the outside, but it marks the first overseas R&D center of the Japanese printing giant.

The joint research agenda is focused on co-packaged optics (CPO), which promises communication speed increases as well as significant energy reductions in data centers and high-end compute. DNP will combine its precision manufacturing and substrate technology with PITC’s photonic integration and packaging expertise.
