Source Photonics has entered into a licensing agreement with Intel to utilize Intel’s 800G transceiver designs, including its silicon photonics chipset. This collaboration will enable Source Photonics to deliver 800G OSFP transceivers, catering to large-scale data center and AI infrastructure deployments. By integrating Intel’s silicon photonics-based solutions with Source Photonics’ in-house EML-based 800G transceiver modules, customers will have access to two distinct 800G designs and manufacturing lines within one company. This partnership aims to enhance supply chain security and increase volume capacity.
“We are excited about this collaboration with Intel,” said John Wang, CEO of Source Photonics. “Our proven transceiver manufacturing expertise, combined with the high volume, highly reliable silicon photonics technology from Intel, will create enormous value for our customers.”
“This collaboration between Intel and Source Photonics to leverage our transceiver design IP and bring to market products using Intel’s silicon photonics chipset is a validation of our new strategy,” said Amit Nagra, VP/GM, Integrated Photonics Solutions at Intel. “As we build upon our strong track record of silicon photonics shipments of over 8 million units to date and continue to develop new silicon photonics technology and products for the data center market, collaborations such as this become increasingly relevant.”
