Why Optical Probing Is Becoming a Manufacturing Boundary for Silicon Photonics

Silicon photonics has already shown that extremely precise optical alignment is possible.

In controlled laboratory environments, engineers can align fibers, waveguides, grating couplers, edge couplers, modulators, detectors, and electrical… Read More

From Photonic Device Design to Electro-Optical Realization

Co-packaged optics will not scale through photonic device performance alone.

As AI infrastructure pushes bandwidth, power, latency, and reach to new limits, optics is moving closer to the compute engine. The industry is no longer asking only whether a photonic device… Read More

Co-packaged optics, silicon photonics, optical I/O, and photonic engines are becoming central topics in the future of AI infrastructure.

The common story is simple:

Copper is reaching limits.
Light can move data farther and more efficiently.
Therefore, AI systems will move from electrical interconnects toward optical interconnects.… Read More
