Source Photonics Licenses 800G Transceiver Module Designs from Intel

WEST HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Source Photonics and Intel have entered into a licensing agreement that allows Source Photonics to utilize Intel’s 800G transceiver designs, including Intel’s silicon photonics chipset, to immediately enable 800G OSFP transceivers for large-scale data center and AI infrastructure deployments. This silicon photonics-based solution, together with Source Photonics’ in-house EML-based 800G transceiver modules, provides customers with access to two separate 800G designs and manufacturing lines within one company, offering increased supply chain security and higher volume capacity.

“We are excited about this collaboration with Intel,” said John Wang, CEO of Source Photonics. “Our proven transceiver manufacturing expertise, combined with the high-volume, highly reliable silicon photonics technology from Intel, will create enormous value for our customers.”

“This collaboration between Intel and Source Photonics to leverage our transceiver design IP and bring to market products using Intel’s silicon photonics chipset is a validation of our new strategy,” said Amit Nagra, VP/GM, Integrated Photonics Solutions at Intel. “As we build upon our strong track record of silicon photonics shipments of over 8 million units to date and continue to develop new silicon photonics technology and products for the data center market, collaborations such as this become increasingly relevant.”
