Info: Keysight at OFC, 2026
Join Keysight experts to explore how to validate, benchmark, and optimize AI infrastructure at 1.6T with the following demonstrations:
Enabling AI-Scale Readiness
- Photonics IC Test: This demo will illustrate how to verify photonic integrated circuits at the wafer and die levels. Keysight’s portfolio of products will demonstrate how to characterize MRM, MZM, and PD beyond 170 GHz, test bias and heat-detuning and automate radio frequency and photonic testing.
- Unified EOE Flow from Device to System: This demo highlights a unified electro-optical workflow that correlates electrical and optical measurements across the link. By aligning waveform analysis, eye metrics, and system-level performance, engineers can accelerate debug and reduce integration risk.
- 224G Interconnect Validation (LPOs): Keysight will demonstrate how its solutions enable high-reliability interconnect validation for AI data centers, including testing 224G LPO/RTLR, validating linear interfaces, and emulating reference receivers.
Driving Optical and Datacom Breakthroughs
- 448Gbps Optical Research: Keysight will demonstrate how its solutions enable 3.2T networks that are ready to support future AI applications with the precision and scale required. The demo will show how to generate 224 GBaud PAM-4 signals and testing of up to 120 GHz bandwidth.
- Coherent Optical Tx Testing: Keysight will showcase coherent transmitter validation through Reference Receiver Measurements, including modulation analysis, optical spectrum characterization, and signal quality metrics critical for high-capacity AI networking.
- 1.6T Optical Tx Validation: Keysight will illustrate a range of solutions designed to optimize next-generation AI data centers by reducing test complexity and maximizing throughput for 1.6T optical transmitter validation to ensure readiness for hyperscale AI deployments.
Transforming the AI Data Center
- Enabling 1.6T and Ultra Ethernet with LLR and CBFC: Keysight will showcase Ultra Ethernet interoperability with LLR and CBFC, enabling deterministic 1.6T scale-up and scale-out AI networking. The platform validates high-density interconnects at line rate while supporting both 112G and 224G SerDes, accelerating deployment of next-generation AI fabrics.
- KAI Data Center Builder: Keysight will showcase its KAI Data Center Builder and workload emulation solutions to enable co-optimization of infrastructure and workloads, benchmark performance at scale, and validate AI-driven data center architectures.
