Sivers Semiconductors 16-wavelength WDM laser demonstration with Ayar Labs set to light up ECOC 2024

Sivers-Semiconductors

Sivers Semiconductors, a leading supplier of integrated chips and modules for the most advanced photonics and wireless solutions, in collaboration with Ayar Labs, introduces the industry’s first CW-WDM MSA compliant 16-wavelength light source at the upcoming European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) Conference in Frankfurt on September 23-25, 2024.

Sivers Semiconductors will host a joint live demonstration with Ayar Labs, showcasing our 16-wavelength distributed feedback (DFB) laser array, integrated into the Ayar Labs SuperNova light source. The demonstration will be located at our booth, #C106, during the exhibition. Teams from Sivers Semiconductors and Ayar Labs will be available throughout the event to take attendees through the live demonstration.

This cutting-edge joint technology is driving transformative advancements in AI applications. As foundational AI models continue to grow in size and complexity, they demand increased GPU/accelerator processing power and memory capacity.  By integrating optical I/O directly within the GPU or accelerator package, this solution enables communication across the GPU cluster, ensuring scalable and efficient infrastructure to meet the expanding demands of AI workloads. Optical connections also significantly reduce power consumption while delivering 5-10x faster communication speeds within the cluster, optimizing GPU utilization and accelerating AI performance.
