There’s a lot of industry excitement around advances in optical interconnects – and also a lack of clarity. Terms are often mixed and dissimilar technologies lumped into the same bucket. This is nowhere more prevalent than with in-package optical I/O (OIO) and co-packaged optics modules (CPO).

Optical interconnect is used to generate, process, and manipulate light for faster data transmission, both between and within microelectronic chips. In a typical electro-optical transceiver, electronic data is converted into an optical signal and vice versa.

Advancements in AI applications led the 2022 headlines given the trends in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Deep Learning Recommender Models (DLRMs) and the latest advancements with ChatGPT. We look forward to what AI will bring in 2023. In all these use cases, data management is key to ensuring the AI models continue to advance.

Ayar Labs is moving ahead on many fronts as we continue to build toward volume production with a major business win and seasoned additions to our executive team.

The power and sophistication of modern radar systems is growing by leaps and bounds. These systems already offer capabilities that couldn’t have been dreamed of just a few short years ago. Furthermore, ongoing developments mean that these systems are poised to...

As we close out Q3 2022, I want to take a step back and look at how Ayar Labs and the optical I/O ecosystem have been evolving and what’s coming next. Ayar Labs was founded in 2015; we created our first prototypes in 2018; we gave our first public demonstrations in...
