   ams OSRAM joins Short-Reach Micro-Emitter Optics OCP standardization
   workstream led by Credo

    

   Industry initiative brings together hyperscalers and optical ecosystem
   participants to advance low-latency, cost-efficient optical interconnects
   for AI scale-up and scale-out networks.

     • Participation in the Open Compute Project (OCP) Short-Reach
       Micro-Emitter Optics (SRMO) workstream positions ams OSRAM within a
       leading industry ecosystem shaping optical connectivity standards for
       next-generation AI infrastructure
     • ams OSRAM’s microLED, microVCSEL and microPhotodiode capabilities
       provide a differentiated and scalable technology platform for
       next-generation optical interconnect solutions
     • Optical interconnects are a key pillar of ams OSRAM’s Digital
       Photonics strategy and a targeted growth opportunity in AI
       infrastructure.

   Premstaetten, Austria, and Munich, Germany (13 October 2026) – ams OSRAM
   joins Short-Reach Micro-Emitter Optics OCP standardization led by Credo
   bringing together hyperscalers and technology leaders to define
   wide-parallel optical links in AI infrastructure

   ams OSRAM is joining the Short-Reach Micro-Emitter Optics (SRMO)
   workstream dedicated to developing a specification within the Open Compute
   Project (OCP) for a new class of high-speed data center interconnects. 
   The industry initiative, led by Credo, brings together hyperscalers and
   technology leaders along the full optical stack to define interoperable
   standards for wide-parallel optical connectivity in next-generation AI
   infrastructure.

   As AI fabrics and GPU clusters continue to expand, the industry needs
   substantially more connectivity while maintaining the very low latency
   required for tightly coupled compute. This is creating demand for new
   interconnect architectures that combine optical reach with the economics
   and latency characteristics traditionally associated with copper. The
   wide-and-slow approach addresses this challenge by distributing data
   across many parallel optical channels at optimized data rates per channel.
   The goal is to combine copper-like cost and latency with optical reach
   while improving power and thermal efficiency. ams OSRAM is a global leader
   in micro-emitters and is well-positioned to bring this technology to
   market to solve the upcoming scale-up interconnect challenge.

   At ECOC 2026, ams OSRAM continued to build on its excellence as technology
   leader for light emitters by introducing a next-generation 850 nm
   Thin-Film VCSEL platform designed for wide-and-slow optical interconnects
   and showcasing a connectorized multi-core fiber solution with ecosystem
   partner BizLink. Building on those advancements, the Short-Reach
   Micro-Emitter Optics (SRMO) workstream will address the market need for
   interoperable interconnects as wide, parallel micro-emitter technology
   drives new form factors across rapidly evolving scale-up and scale-out
   fabrics in AI data centers. The common specification, targeted for OCP
   approval in 2027, will address requirements for signaling, power
   efficiency, form factors, modules and connector interfaces.

    

   “Next-generation AI fabrics require optical reach without paying the
   traditional cost and latency penalty of high-speed optical links,” said
   Ashkan Seyedi, Vice President and General Manager of Optical Interconnects
   at ams OSRAM. “Wide-and-Slow micro-emitter and micro-receiver enable
   20-30x reach as compared to copper but with bandwidth density and energy
   and cost efficiency of copper. By joining the SRMO Workstream, we are
   building the ecosystem to turn the technology demonstrated at ECOC into
   interoperable, manufacturable solutions at scale.”

   “Wide, parallel micro-emitter technology is opening up new possibilities
   for AI data center fabrics, and a common set of interoperable
   specifications will help the ecosystem realize them," said L.K. Bhupathi,
   Associate Vice President of Product at Credo. "With the SRMO Workstream,
   Credo is looking forward to working alongside industry contributors to
   define specifications that will foster a resilient supply chain, faster
   deployment and continued innovation.”

   ams OSRAM plans to contribute to the emerging SRMO Framework, leveraging
   its technology portfolio which combines 2D addressable microLED and
   microVCSEL emitter arrays, matching micro-photodiode receiver arrays, CMOS
   capabilities and advanced 3D packaging. The company's 850 nm platform uses
   the cost-effective GaAs material system and is compatible with widely
   deployed OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure. Depending on application
   requirements, the platform supports both microLED-based short-reach links
   and longer-reach microVCSEL-based links.

   Participation in the OCP SRMO Framework supports ams OSRAM's Digital
   Photonics strategy and ambition to address emerging AI infrastructure
   opportunities with differentiated optical interconnect technologies.
   Optical interconnects for AI data centers are one of the company's key
   growth vectors, alongside highly pixelated automotive lighting,
   micro-emitter projection arrays for AR smart glasses, and advanced optical
   sensing.
