Photonics hardware platform
Dynamic light control for optical switching, optical link reconfiguration, and optical computing systems.
Infrastructure bottleneck
Transistors scaled. Data movement can't follow.
AI clusters are growing faster than the infrastructure around them. As thousands of accelerators exchange data across chips, racks, and data centers, interconnect power, heat, latency, and cooling become critical constraints.
Electronic systems move information by pushing charge through wires. At steep AI scale, that movement increasingly becomes a thermal and infrastructure bottleneck.
Infrastructure flow
Compute density ↑
Accelerator clusters scale.
Data movement ↑
More traffic crosses chips, boards, racks.
Heat / power ↑
Electronic movement becomes infrastructure load.
Optical layer
Programmable light control targets the bottleneck.
NanoSLM
A programmable optical-control layer.
NanoSLM brings dynamic light control to chip scale. Flatlight is developing programmable metasurface hardware for compact, high-speed optical routing, beam shaping, and optical link reconfiguration.
