Optoscribe funding to expand monolithic integrated device development for datacenter transceivers

This funding will facilitate an expansion of current manufacturing capacity and the hiring of key engineering resources.

The combined requirements from datacenter operators for ever higher bandwidths, reduced footprints, and lower costs to stream data (as depicted in this illustration) demand new methods to address the constraints inherent in transceiver fiber-coupling solutions. Optoscribe says its 3D glass-based photonic integrated circuit (PIC) platform addresses these needs, as evidenced by a recent win to supply interconnect devices.
