Ayar Labs Appoints Sejal Patel Daswani as Chief People and Operations Officer

Ayar Labs, the leader in co-packaged optics (CPO) solutions for AI scale-up, announced the appointment of Sejal Daswani as Chief People and Operations Officer.

Ayar Labs Joins NVIDIA NVLink™ Fusion Ecosystem to Bring Co-Packaged Optics to Rack-Scale AI Infrastructure

Enables hyperscalers to scale with high-bandwidth, low-latency, power-efficient optical connectivity.

Ayar Labs Named to Fast Company’s List of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026

Company ranks in the top five in Computing category for its co-packaged optics solution, pushing the boundaries of AI scale-up.


Co-Packaged Optics Enable Multi-Rack Scale-Up

Vladimir Stojanovic, CTO and co-founder of Ayar Labs, and Erez Shaizaf, CTO of Alchip, elaborate on a joint company collaboration to integrate co-packaged optics into next-generation AI accelerators and scale-up switches.

Why Gigawatt Datacenters Need Better Optical Control

“I think this kind of proves that microring resonators work now. Using controlled heat tests and a hairdryer blast, we now have optical chiplets that hold perfect alignment under conditions that would break traditional designs. It's a fun demo, but the ramifications are wide.”

Next-Gen AI Architecture Through Co-Packaged Optics Webinar

Industry leaders from Alchip, Astera Labs, and Ayar Labs move beyond proof-of-concept to address the manufacturing, supply chain, and integration realities of commercial CPO deployment and provide specific guidance on deployment timelines from 2026 through 2028.
