Enabling faster, more efficient system designs with embedded optics.
AI Infrastructure Demands Optical
AI and modern datacenter architectures demand ever-faster, denser, and more energy-efficient connections. Electrical traces are running into bottlenecks, with excessive loss and bandwidth limits. Optical PCBs (oPCBs) solve this by embedding optical waveguides directly into the circuit board, providing low-loss, high-bandwidth interconnects that outperform copper at short reach.
10× lower loss
Compared to electrical SerDes & copper traces on PCB
20× higher
Bandwidth density
Delivering more Performance per Watt, per Rack & per Dollar
Optical PCBs bring the performance of fiber optics directly onto the circuit board, solving the bandwidth and loss limitations of copper. They enable faster, more energy-efficient interconnects for datacenter hardware and high-speed electronics. With oPCBs, system designers can scale AI, cloud, and consumer devices beyond the limits of electrical connections.
Testimonial
vario-optics has delivered one of the most mature platforms for embedded optical interconnects we’ve worked with. Their successful demonstration of optical PCIe links shows how this technology can outperform traditional copper in bandwidth, latency, and power efficiency. Especially for AI datacenter applications, where signal integrity and density are critical, their solution offers a scalable path beyond the limitations of electrical interconnects.
