Luxtera brings direct “fiber to the chip” connectivity to market. It is the first company to overcome the complex technical obstacles involved with integrating high-performance optics directly with silicon electronics on a mainstream CMOS chip. Luxtera's proprietary design and fabrication processes combine standard transistors for digital and analog electronic circuitry with passive nano-photonic optical structures. These CMOS Photonic transceivers offer better performance, increased reliability, and reduced power consumption at a fraction of the cost of traditional optical assemblies.
