Enabling the next phase of Moore’s Law through optical connectivity
Ayar Labs solves the I/O bandwidth and power bottlenecks by moving data using light.
Ayar Labs is disrupting the traditional performance, cost, and efficiency curves of the semiconductor and computing industries by delivering a 1000x improvement in interconnect bandwidth density at 10x lower power. We use standard CMOS processing to develop high-speed, high-density, low-power optical interconnect “chiplets” and lasers to replace traditional electrical I/O.

Technical Brief: Optical I/O Chiplets Eliminate Bottlenecks to Unleash Innovation
This technical brief examines the evolution of optical communications in computing systems and the transition to ‘Phase Two’ of Moore’s Law through monolithic in-package optical I/O (MIPO I/O).
Download this technical brief to learn how Ayar Labs TeraPHY™ MIPO I/O Chiplets are enabling better bandwidth and better latency chip to chip communications at lower power.
Miss us at Hot Chips 2019?
President, Chief Scientist, and Co-Founder, Mark Wade presented Ayar Labs’ mission, product strategy, and collaboration with Intel.
Intel and Ayar Labs demonstrated the industry’s first integration of monolithic in-package optics (MIPO) with a high-performance system-on-chip (SOC) co-packaged with the Intel Stratix 10 FPGA.
