Photonix raises millions for full-wave optical computing chips

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Photonix, a Beijing-based startup founded by Tsinghua University alumni, has secured tens of millions of RMB in angel funding. The company is developing optoelectronic fusion computing chips utilizing a novel "full-wave computation" approach based on metasurface technology. This technology aims to significantly increase computing density and energy efficiency compared to traditional methods, with plans to integrate with electronic chips via Chiplets and develop a supporting software toolchain. AI

IMPACT Optical computing chips promise to overcome the power and memory limitations of current electronic chips, potentially accelerating AI development.
