New 200Gbps photodetector doubles optical reception capacity for data centers
Korean researchers have developed, for the first time in Korea, a 200Gbps-class photodetector device for use in hyperscale AI data centers and 5G/6G mobile communications infrastructure.
Summary
Korean researchers have developed, for the first time in Korea, a 200Gbps-class photodetector device for use in hyperscale AI data centers and 5G/6G mobile communications infrastructure. The technology enables ultrahigh-speed data reception fast enough to transmit five 5GB full HD movies per second. The results of this study were presented at OECC 2025, held in Sapporo, Japan, and were recently published in Optics Express. Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced that it has developed a photodetector device capable of processing 200Gbps-class optical signals per channel.
