[CPO Deep Dive 4/6] Fiber-to-Chip: The Least Glamorous Step in CPO That Holds Everyone Back
Light leaks a little at every interface, and coupling is where CPO's optical losses concentrate, an invisible ceiling on yield and serviceability. Doubling V-groove density, edge vs. grating coupling, passive vs. active alignment: this unglamorous layer is where volume-production gaps open up.

Paper Analysis | Breaking the CPO Coupling Bottleneck: AuthenX Uses Meta-Lenses to Reach +/- 18 um Alignment Tolerance
AuthenX's OFC 2026 meta-lens coupling scheme widens PIC-to-FAU alignment tolerance to +/- 18 um while keeping near-ideal Gaussian beam quality (M^2 = 1.2), clearing a path to high-volume CPO manufacturing and detachable fiber connections.
