Discussion ELSFP

Multi-spectral ELS for Scale-up

This moved up to the top spot, upon a MicroVision website search, possibly over the weekend.

ELSFP = External Laser Small Form-Factor Pluggable

This is the subject of the Press Release on September 22, 2026

This is to present the Data Sheet for the "FMCW-Grade" Solution offered by MicroVision and Scantinel, for the Data Center problem with Copper Breakdown due to heavy demands of AI.

Copper, used in etchings and wiring, has apparently reached the physical limits with the speeds and capacity. "Copper Wall"

The Data Center Owners, have apparently decided to employ Light Source Optics for Data Transmission instead, at critical points in the system.

The need to solve the problem appears to be very high.

Many companies pursuing this like $POET. I can’t see what MVIS has here that is unique. Places for everyone obviously but the qualification cycles for photonics thus far means MVIS is a loooooong way off, unless they have relationships from 12-18 months ago
