LightSpeed Photonics

Building next-generation optoelectronic interconnects and processors for high-bandwidth processing

LightSpeed Photonics’ mission is to enable future datacenters with at least 10 times more data processing capabilities than what current systems are capable of. LightSpeed’s technology is modular, scalable, multi-processor systems with free-space optical interconnects. Their team is building proprietary optical interconnects and modular processors with co-packaged optics for data centers and edge cloudlets, addressing the need for increased real-time processing of data bandwidth-intensive applications like video streaming, AI, cybersecurity, and smartNICs (Network Interface Card) at low power. Their core technology IP is to integrate lasers which enable multi-terabit communication between computing chips through the air.
