Ayar Labs

Ayar Labs is an American semiconductor and silicon photonics company that develops optical I/O solutions to replace traditional copper-based interconnects in high-performance computing. Founded in 2015 by researchers from MIT, UC Berkeley, and CU Boulder, the firm designs integrated optical chiplets and multi-wavelength laser light sources that enable ultra-high bandwidth and low-latency data movement. Its technology is engineered to eliminate critical data bottlenecks and reduce energy consumption across massive data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
