izmo Microsystems and IIT Madras have entered Phase II of a ₹99.94 crore MeitY-sanctioned silicon photonics program aimed at advancing silicon photonics technologies towards commercial products for AI and high-performance computing infrastructure, including 1.6 Tbps optical transceivers and co-packaged optics.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The path from silicon photonics research to production-grade optical modules is opening up in India. You should explore partnerships or tech licensing as optical interconnect speeds double and data-centres demand co-packaged optics.
