Founders
Lightmatter is the leader in photonic computing, developing revolutionary chips and interconnects that use light instead of electricity for AI computation and data center communication. The company's flagship products include Passage, a 3D photonic interconnect enabling ultra-high-speed chip-to-chip communication, and Envise, a photonic AI accelerator. By leveraging silicon photonics and programmable Mach-Zehnder interferometers, Lightmatter addresses critical AI infrastructure bottlenecks, dramatically improving bandwidth, speed, and energy efficiency while reducing power consumption in data centers. The company works with major semiconductor and AI companies to deploy its co-packaged optics solutions for next-generation computing systems.
