As the HPSC needs of government institutions such as NASA grow with exascale computing and they move to replace and update aging systems such as Pleiades with more distributed computing concepts like that in Electra, latency will ultimately limit the computing performance. The proposed transmitter with the novel SE Laser-EAM solves the latency problem as well as the bandwidth, footprint, and power consumption problems of optical communications in Exascale computing which is vital to the success of NASA's mission.
Data centers and HPSC in the US continue moving to single mode fiber data links, and the requirement for low cost, high speed optical transceivers is driving a multibillion dollar component market. The direct sales of our laser/EAM based transmitter would go to optical transceiver integrators such as Menara Networks, Advanced Optical Interconnects (AOI), Finisar and Lumentum.
