Sivers Photonics is supplying its DFB laser arrays for Ayar Labs’ SuperNova optical interconnect for AI/ML clusters, disaggregated data centers, 6G networks, phased array sensor systems and etc. Anders Storm, CEO from Sivers Semiconductors explains:
– The current lack of communication and insufficient bandwidth between GPUs can be addressed by scaling the number of GPUs and using photons instead of electrons. This approach not only increases the bandwidth by 10x but also reduces electricity usage by the same factor.
– Sivers Semiconductors is partnering with Ayar Labs to demonstrate an eight-array optical interconnects capable of 4 Tbps, scaling to much higher rates
– The company is a promoter member of CW WDM, a forum that has created a standard for how laser sources will work within these systems. The technology is maturing, with new members joining the forum and the use of Indian phosphide lasers proving to be a very effective material for these applications.
