- Intel Photonics: Intel® Silicon Photonics Technology is a new approach to make optical devices out of silicon and use light (photons) to move huge amounts of data at very high speeds with extremely low power over a thin optical fiber rather than using electrical signals over a copper cable. After nearly a decade of research and innovation to prove its viability, Intel created a P&L (Silicon Photonics Solutions Group) in 2012 to move the project into production.
- IBM: On December 10, 2012 IBM announced a breakthrough optical communication technology which has been verified in a manufacturing environment. The technology – called “silicon nanophotonics” – uses light instead of electrical signals to transfer information for future computing systems, thus allowing large volumes of data to be moved fast between computer chips in servers, large data-centers, and supercomputers via pulses of light.
- Corning: Corning Incorporated introduces a new fiber and connector technology developed for Intel® Corporation to support its upcoming Intel Silicon Photonics Technology® products. Intel challenged Corning to design optical connectivity solutions to enable Intel Silicon Photonics Technology (SPT) products in development. The resulting combination of the Intel and Corning technologies is expected to help send massive amounts of data - up to 1.6 terabits per second - at lengths up to 300 meters into and around servers in data centers, helping speed the industry’s transition to cloud computing, big data and rack-scale architectures.
- Acacia: Acacia designs, develops, manufactures, and markets intelligent subsystems for ultra high speed fiber optic transmission for local, metro, long-haul, and ultra-long haul applications.

- Finisar: Finisar is dedicated to helping large organizations worldwide leverage the power and speed of optical communications. Much of the information that moves around the World Wide Web, flows across Local Area Networks (LANs), or resides on Storage Area Networks (SANs) is there with help from Finisar. Network equipment vendors use our optical modules and optical components to provide fiber connectivity for their own products.
