Ayar Labs TeraPHY is an optical I/O chiplet that combines silicon photonics with CMOS technology to provide high-bandwidth, low-latency chip-to-chip and package-to-package connectivity for large-scale computing systems.
Official pages describe the chiplet as an in-package interconnect option for high-bandwidth, low-latency communication, including die-to-die and package-to-package links. Ayar Labs presents TeraPHY for large-scale computing systems rather than as a pluggable transceiver product family. This independent listing identifies the named optical I/O chiplet. Interface details, optical-port configurations and product status should be confirmed on Ayar Labs' current TeraPHY pages.
