Follow up question to chat gpt. Who makes the MRM for Nvidia?
NVIDIA’s micro-ring modulators (MRMs) for co-packaged optics (CPO) are developed through a collaboration with TSMC, which manufactures the modulators using its advanced silicon photonics process. This integration is part of NVIDIA’s broader effort to scale AI infrastructure by connecting millions of GPUs with high-speed, energy-efficient optical networking solutions. ? ?
In addition to TSMC’s role in producing the micro-ring modulators, NVIDIA’s silicon photonics ecosystem includes several other key partners:
• Coherent: Provides essential components for the MRM-based optical transceivers. ?
• Lumentum: Supplies high-power, high-efficiency lasers crucial for the development and deployment of NVIDIA’s new networking switches. ?
• Corning, Foxconn, SENKO, SPIL, Sumitomo Electric Industries, TFC Communication: Contribute to various aspects of the optical and packaging supply chain, including optical fibers, connectors, and system-level assembly. ?
These collaborations aim to achieve 1.6 terabits-per-second (Tb/s) per port speeds, significantly enhancing the scalability and energy efficiency of AI data center networks. ?
