The approach is particularly relevant for next-generation data center and AI infrastructure, where bandwidth density, energy efficiency, and system scalability are critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The presentation attracted strong interest at CLEO, reflecting the growing momentum toward microcomb-based solutions for future communication systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microcombsys.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microcombsys.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png 950w, https:\/\/www.microcombsys.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microcombsys.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look who was at CLEO too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"964\" height=\"723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microcombsys.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microcombsys.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-1.png 964w, https:\/\/www.microcombsys.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microcombsys.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-1-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our doctoral fellow, Arjun Kurur, presented his latest work on microcombs for future hyperscale datacenters at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO 2026), one of the world\u2019s leading conferences for lasers, photonics and optical science.
