About Us
Pioneering Multi-Wavelength Optical Innovation for the Everything over Optical™ Era
At Pilot Photonics, we are leading the transition to the Everything over Optical™ era by developing cutting-edge tunable and multi-wavelength laser technologies that enable dramatic scaling in AI, cloud computing, 5G/6G networks, and next-generation data centers.
Our patented comb lasers, integrated tunable lasers, and high-speed optical interconnect solutions address the critical challenges of scaling capacity and bandwidth density, while reducing power consumption.
With a heritage rooted in world-leading expertise in optical comb generation, our founders have been pioneering multi-wavelength laser communication since 2005. Today, we develop and commercialize integrated photonics solutions that enable data centers, telecom networks, and space systems to operate at unprecedented speeds and efficiency. Our flagship innovations include:
- nano-iTLA (Integrated Tunable Laser Assembly)
A fast-switching, low-linewidth tunable laser optimized for datacenter interconnects and telecom applications, offering low linewidth and rapid wavelength agility.
- iCLA (Integrated Comb Laser Assembly)
A monolithic chip integrating a gain-switched comb and an injection-locked demultiplexer, delivering multiple coherent wavelengths for coherent transceiver scaling and next-gen 5G, 6G, and satellite communication. - ExCELS™ (External Comb-Enhanced Laser Source)
A hybrid comb + laser array technology providing the wavelength stability, phase coherence and accuracy of comb lasers with the high optical power of laser arrays. - Coherent Combs for Co-Packaged Optics (C3PO)
A portfolio of patents, know-how and innovations designed to unlock the full potential of Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) by increasing capacity/throughput by 10X while reducing laser power consumption by 10X, thereby future-proofing AI datacenters.
At Pilot Photonics, our mission is to enable the optical networks of tomorrow with high-performance, scalable, and energy-efficient solutions that redefine how data moves across the world and beyond.
