Ayar Labs

Ayar Labs uses silicon photonics and microring-based architectures to increase bandwidth, reduce latency, and improve power efficiency in accelerator and XPU environments. The company’s TeraPHY optical engine integrates UCIe-based optical chiplets to enable high-throughput, low-power data transfer across extended distances within and between compute systems. Its SuperNova external light source provides multi-wavelength laser output designed for scalable, standards-based deployment. Ayar Labs supports disaggregated memory and scale-up architectures, enabling AI hardware systems to operate with higher interconnect density and accelerator utilization.
