Optical I/O pairs Ayar Labs' TeraPHY engines and SuperNova light sources for co-packaged AI scale-up connectivity.
Ayar Labs develops co-packaged optical I/O chiplets and laser systems that move data with light rather than electricity. The technology targets high-performance computing, AI training clusters, and cloud data centers where electrical interconnects face bandwidth and power-density limits.
The platform combines silicon photonics with standard CMOS packaging to enable high-density optical links close to compute dies, competing with traditional copper and pluggable optical transceiver solutions.
