Two On-Chip Laser Paths Are Emerging for AI Data Centers, and They Solve Different Bottlenecks
These new optical sources should not be read as generic laser upgrades for AI infrastructure. Tower Semiconductor and Xscape Photonics on one side, and Scintil Photonics on the other, are advancing different integration methods for the same pressure point: AI clusters need more bandwidth per fiber, lower packaging complexity, and much tighter reliability than traditional…
