As AI, edge computing, and 5G/6G continue to drive demand for faster, more efficient networks, one challenge is becoming clearer: conventional photodetectors weren’t built for the power and scalability demands of modern optical datacom. High operating voltages, excess noise, and integration hurdles are limiting progress.

At ActLight, we believe it’s time for a new approach. Our Dynamic PhotoDetector (DPD) is designed with power efficiency, seamless integration, and next-gen performance in mind—bridging the gap between speed and sensitivity without the trade-offs of traditional detectors.

Put together is a head-to-head comparison of DPD versus existing technologies.
