Tower Semiconductor and Innolight, a global leader in high-speed optical transceivers, announced an expanded collaboration utilizing Tower’s newest Silicon Photonics (SiPho) platform. This platform is now in production and ramping to high volume, signifying a major step in delivering advanced optical solutions. The partnership aims to address the increasing demand for high-speed optical connectivity in AI-driven data centers.
The breakthrough technology dramatically reduces the number of external optical components, cutting the number of lasers required per module by half. This innovation simplifies optical module design and enhances both cost and supply chain efficiency for AI and data center applications. The next-generation SiPho platform offers industry-leading edge coupling efficiency and higher-performance modulators, which are critical for advanced optical modules.
This solution is designed to meet the needs of 100Gbps per lane (400G/800G), 200Gbps per lane (1.6T) today, and 400Gbps per lane (3.2T) optical modules in the future. Russell Ellwanger, CEO of Tower Semiconductor, emphasized that continued investment in SiPho technology development and capacity expansion reinforces the company's leadership. This enables customers like Innolight to deliver high-performance solutions that meet the evolving needs of AI and data center markets.
