New Brief: Vertical LTG Integration in 800G+ Optical Transceiver Modules

Mar 30, 2026

We are pleased to introduce our latest technical solution brief focused on thermal management in high-performance optical modules.

As optical modules scale to 800G+ and beyond, increasing power densities create significant thermal management challenges. High-power components such as DSPs and driver ICs generate localized hotspots that require efficient heat transfer to the module lid and the host heatsink.


Vertical Lotus Thermal Guides (LTGs) provide a controlled, high-conductivity pathway that enables direct heat conduction while maintaining electrical isolation.


This paper outlines key design principles, practical integration strategies for the thermal stack of high-power optical modules, and key design considerations for achieving reliable and predictable thermal performance in next-generation systems.
