AI & Cloud Datacentres

The AI and Cloud era is driving a massive shift in data infrastructure, with AI training clusters and hyperscale datacentres requiring orders of magnitude more bandwidth. Today’s optical links operate on 1, 4 or sometimes 8 wavelengths, but future architectures demand 16, 32, or more wavelengths to keep up with capacity growth.

Key Challenges & Drivers

The Copper Death Spiral:

Copper interconnects cannot scale to meet terabit-scale connectivity needs due to power, reach, and bandwidth limitations.
Scaling Optical I/O:

Pluggable optics are giving way to Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and Optical I/O (OIO) to achieve the necessary scaling.
Comb Laser Power Limitation:

Traditional comb lasers provide superior spectral efficiency but struggle with power per wavelength.

How Pilot Photonics Solves These Challenges

ExCELS™:

Combines the stability and coherence of comb lasers with the power of laser arrays, enabling dense multi-wavelength optical interconnects for AI-scale datacenters.

C3PO (Coherent Combs for CPO):

Prepares networks for coherent optical interfaces inside the datacentre, increasing capacity by 10X while reducing laser power consumption by 10X.
