Experience the insightful discussions as distinguished representatives from our government agencies, the defense industrial base, and esteemed academic institutions come together to share their one-of-a-kind and invaluable viewpoints on the critical role of our domestic semiconductor industry in shaping our national and economic security, as well as outlining the potential avenues for future research and innovation in the field.

What is ERI?
The Electronics Resurgence Initiative (ERI), DARPA’s response to national-level microelectronics concerns, is designed to ensure U.S. leadership in cross-functional, next-generation microelectronics research, development, and manufacturing. The initiative, aimed at both national security capabilities and commercial economic competitiveness and sustainability, is a thematic portfolio of research programs primarily in the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO). These programs emphasize forward-looking partnerships with U.S. industry, the defense industrial base, and university researchers.

ERI Summit 2023 Agenda

Ayar Labs at ERI Summit 2023
Join Intel Corporation and Ayar Labs at the PIPES demo table at the ERI Summit to see the first public demonstration of a 4 Tbps optical FPGA. We’ll also have a number of product samples available for an up-close look at our technology.

The optical FPGA demonstration shows:

• Two Intel FPGAs, each integrating two Ayar Labs TeraPHY™ optical I/O chiplets in-package
• Two SuperNova™ remote light sources
• 4 Tbps bidirectional bandwidth
• BER of 1E-15
• Operating without FEC
• 5 pico joules per bit of power
