HyperLight, UMC announce collaboration with Jabil on TFLN photonics

HyperLight, UMC (UMC), and Wavetek, a wholly owned subsidiary of UMC, announced a collaboration with Jabil (JBL), to accelerate the deployment of thin-film lithium niobate photonics into hyperscale AI data center interconnects. The collaboration brings together HyperLight’s TFLN photonic technology, UMC and Wavetek’s qualified foundry manufacturing, and Jabil’s expertise in high-volume manufacturing and assembly to support deployment of next-generation optical modules at data-center scale. HyperLight and Jabil have worked closely to integrate TFLN-based photonic devices into next-generation optical transceiver platforms.
