A note from our Founder & CEO Nick Harris on the @NVIDIA NVLink™ Fusion ecosystem - "Scale-Up is a Problem Made for Photonics" #AI #Photonics https://t.co/yGZukkWmgv

[Lightmatter @LightmatterCo]

Lightmatter joined the @NVIDIA NVLink™ Fusion ecosystem! Frontier AI models are outgrowing electrical links. The integration of Passage photonics with NVIDIA’s architecture enables hyperscalers to build the highest-bandwidth, lowest-power AI factories. #AI #Photonics Read the press release here: https://t.co/hDSURyclGE

Ever wonder how a silicon photonics chip goes from wafer to data center rack?
Take an inside look at the end-to-end manufacturing journey for the Passage M1000 3D photonic interposer.
From advanced packaging and automated fiber assembly to final rack integration, see how we deliver 114 Tbps of optical bandwidth for AI data centers.

Co-packaged optics is becoming a critical conversation in AI infrastructure — and it will take a full ecosystem to move it forward.

At @LightmatterCo InterConnect 2026 ecosystem and media event, I joined Nicholas Harris, Simona J., Ritesh Jain and Bob Turner to discuss the market, key challenges and the roadmap for CPO.

Great discussion and an important moment for the industry.

[Lightmatter @LightmatterCo]

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an afternoon of innovation and networking. We’re proud to be building the photonic foundation for the next generation of hyperscale data centers.

[Lightmatter @LightmatterCo]

That’s a wrap for our second annual InterConnect! We were thrilled to welcome the industry’s top analysts, investors, media and ecosystem partners to our new headquarters in downtown Mountain View for an inside look at the future of AI infrastructure.

#InterConnect2026 attendees are getting a firsthand look at our validation data center and live demos of major connectivity breakthroughs across Passage®, Guide® VLSP™, and our vClick™/eClick™ FAUs.

[Lightmatter @LightmatterCo]

The laser is to optical interconnect what batteries are to EVs. The industry’s "power wall" is real. Today at #InterConnect2026, we announced Guide DR: the industry’s first liquid-cooled laser NIC. By moving the light source into the chassis, we’re delivering 4X the rack density of pluggable lasers to power frontier AI.
The future of AI infrastructure is cooler, faster, and more efficient. https://t.co/NqtPDcQnB6
