Scintil Photonics, Tower Launch Production-Ready DWDM Laser Platform for AI Data Centers

New updates have been reported about Scintil Photonics.

Scintil Photonics has validated its SHIP™ heterogeneous integrated photonics technology on Tower Semiconductor’s high-volume silicon photonics platform, enabling what the company describes as the first production-ready, single-chip DWDM laser sources tailored for next-generation AI infrastructure. The flagship product, LEAF Light™, integrates monolithic lasers with silicon photonics on one die to support co-packaged optics (CPO) in large GPU clusters, targeting higher bandwidth density, lower power per bit, and ultra-low tail latency for hyperscalers.

By aligning its technology with Tower’s global multi-site SiPho manufacturing footprint, Scintil gains a scalable path from customer evaluation to potential volumes of millions of units per month, directly addressing supply continuity and capacity needs for AI data center build-outs. The collaboration is already supporting customer DWDM CPO evaluations and sets out a defined progression from qualification to high-volume manufacturing, positioning Scintil as a key enabler of optical scale-up networking in an AI networking market projected to reach roughly $200 billion by 2030.

Scintil’s CEO Matt Crowley emphasized that DWDM CPO is emerging as a preferred architecture to overcome bandwidth and power constraints per GPU/XPU, with LEAF Light™ providing the laser source foundation while Tower supplies industrial-scale production. Industry analysts cited in the announcement highlight that moving server interconnects to multirack CPO will increase the share of scale-up networking within overall AI networking spend, underscoring the strategic relevance of Scintil’s DWDM solutions. With headquarters in Grenoble and operations in North America, Scintil is positioning its SHIP™ platform and LEAF Light™ product line as core building blocks for future AI data centers, and will outline its manufacturing roadmap with prospective customers at the OFC 2026 conference in Los Angeles.
