Happy World AI Day! 🌍 Around here, AI is more than a buzzword – though, admittedly, we do say it a lot. From next-generation data centers to networks that connect the world, our industry is helping harness the power of light to shape the future of AI innovation. As Michael Hurlston says, “It’s a super exciting time to be in optics.” #WorldAIDay #AI #Optics #Photonics #Innovation #AIInfrastructure #Lumentum

VCSEL-based interconnects are emerging as efficient, high-bandwidth solutions for AI networks. Next week, leading experts in the field will explore this topic in detail during LightCounting Market Research’s virtual conference on co-packaged optics (#CPO) and near-packaged optics (#NPO). During Session 3 on enabling technologies, Lumentum’s Oleg Shchekin will present on “VCSEL-Based Wide-Parallel Optical Interconnects for AI Scale-Up Networks.” We look forward to exchanging ideas with industry peers on this timely subject. 📅 Wednesday, July 15, 2026 ⏰ 5:00 – 8:15 p.m. PT 📍 Virtual Register here: https://bit.ly/44Di5ed

Wishing all who celebrate a safe and happy Independence Day. Happy Fourth of July! 🎆 #America250 #FourthOfJuly

Proud to be part of NVIDIA’s U.S. manufacturing ecosystem as America builds the next generation of AI infrastructure. From railroads and power grids to semiconductors and the internet, American innovation has always depended on the ability to build at scale, and AI is no different. With these systems growing, optical technologies will be essential to moving data with the speed, efficiency, and reliability advanced AI demands. Here’s to continued investment in the ideas, people, and U.S. manufacturing capabilities that turn innovation into infrastructure. See how our recent expansions reflect that commitment in action: ⭐ San Jose, CA: https://bit.ly/4vChFQR ⭐ Greensboro, NC: https://bit.ly/3Q2Fotu #America250 #USManufacturing #NVIDIA #Lumentum

RAISE Summit kicks off in Paris next week – and tickets are selling out fast! Opening with a fireside chat featuring Mark Cuban and Lovable CEO Anton Osika, the event will unite top decision-makers in business and technology to weigh in on the future of AI. On Wednesday, Lumentum CEO Michael Hurlston will join BlackRock’s Tony Kim for a fireside chat on “The Invisible Backbone of AI: Why Light Is Powering the Intelligence Revolution.” Looking forward to a timely discussion on the infrastructure powering the next era of AI. 📅 Wednesday, July 8, 2026 ⏰ 3:20 – 3:40 p.m. 📍 Grace Hopper Stage Explore the agenda: https://bit.ly/44HoYLe

Earlier this month at the Optical Interconnects and Packaging (OIP) Conference in Fort Collins, Colorado, Lumentum’s Head of High Density Interconnect, Oleg Shchekin, joined industry peers to share #Lumentum’s perspective on VCSEL-based wide-parallel optical interconnects for AI scale-up networks – an important area as the industry looks for scalable, manufacturable approaches to support next-generation AI systems. We appreciate the opportunity to contribute to conversations that help shape the future of optical connectivity and thank the #OIP2026 organizers for bringing together experts across optical interconnects, packaging, photonics, and AI infrastructure. Forums like this are essential as the industry works through the technical challenges of building scalable, efficient, next-generation AI systems.

GPUs, accelerators, and memory may be the brain of AI infrastructure, but AI clusters only perform when data can move across the system with speed, efficiency, and reliability. This is pulling optical connectivity deeper into the compute fabric and making optical component scale, stability, and manufacturability part of the AI infrastructure equation. In this new blog, Sri Venkat examines a critical question behind the AI buildout: how the optical component ecosystem can deliver the performance, capacity, and manufacturing discipline these systems now require. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4xP6MwK #AI #AIInfrastructure #Photonics #OpticalNetworking #DataCenter #Lumentum

Space is at a premium in co-packaged optics (CPO) and ultra-dense optical modules. As the industry moves toward 400G per lane, indium phosphide (InP) is an important enabler where high-speed performance, compactness, and integration matter most. In this video, Lumentum CTO Matthew Sysak shares how our decades of InP expertise help address the physical constraints shaping next-generation optical networking. ▶️ Catch up on previous episodes: https://bit.ly/47pOHbZ #AIInfrastructure #Photonics #OpticalNetworking #CPO #DataCenters #Lumentum #AskTheExpert

Ethics, stewardship, and long-term impact are essential considerations for Lumentum as we help build the infrastructure enabling the AI era.   Last week, we were honored to have #Lumentum Chair of the Board Penny Herscher and CEO Michael Hurlston represent us on panels at the 2026 Rome Conference on AI, Ethics, and the Future of Governance.   Technology is progressing rapidly, and thoughtful governance and deployment – fueled by a commitment to the greater good – will be key to ensuring its benefits are widely shared.   Learn more: https://bit.ly/4oQrRTu   #RomeAI2026 #AI #AIEthics #ResponsibleAI #AIInfrastructure #Lumentum
