With its laser-augmented silicon photonic integrated circuits, the startup intends to significantly improve connectivity in high-performance systems and processors. Scintil Photonics develops integrated single-chip solutions that integrate active and passive components manufactured using standard semiconductor industry CMOS silicon photonics processes for volume production. This unique heterogeneous integration of semiconductor materials, including lasers and optical amplifiers, enables extremely compact ultra-high-speed communications, from 800 Gbit/s to 3,200 Gbit/s.
Scintil Photonics’ technology, which leverages more than fifteen years of CEA laser and silicon photonics research and development, is ideal for data centers and high-performance computing (HPC).
