nEye Systems designs programmable photonic integrated circuits (PICs) that implement high-radix optical circuit switching on a silicon chip. Their main product is a programmable optical switch built on silicon photonics, enabling high-capacity, low-power data paths for AI, ML, and other data-intensive workloads. The system uses a PIC-based switch fabric that can be configured to route optical signals through many channels, reducing electrical power needs and easing network scaling in data centers. Compared with competitors, nEye focuses on integrating high-radix, programmable optical switching directly on silicon wafers to deliver scalable, energy-efficient networking for AI infrastructure, leveraging MEMS photonics and silicon photonics techniques. The company aims to make data center networks more power-efficient and scalable to meet rising demands from AI and ML workloads.
