Companies in Optical Modules

23 active companies tracked.

L4

AMD

MI300 / MI325 / MI350 Instinct accelerator family — the dominant merchant alternative to NVIDIA in AI training silicon. ROCm software stack maturity is the primary watch-point.

L2

Arista Networks

Cloud-networking incumbent. AI-spine + leaf switch deployments at the top hyperscalers. EOS software the named differentiator vs Cisco / Juniper. NVIDIA Spectrum-X partnership.

L4

Arm Holdings

CPU architecture and IP licensing — the instruction set and core designs behind data center CPUs (Grace, Graviton) and edge AI.

L2

Astera Labs

Connectivity silicon for AI infrastructure — PCIe/CXL retimers and smart cable modules for GPU scale-up fabrics.

L1

Bloom Energy

Solid-oxide fuel-cell power systems. AI-datacenter angle: on-site behind-the-meter generation that bypasses 5-7yr grid interconnect queues. Named in 2025-2026 hyperscaler PPA announcements.

L4

Broadcom Inc.

Custom AI silicon and networking — co-designs hyperscaler accelerator ASICs (e.g. Google TPU) and supplies Ethernet switch and SerDes silicon for AI fabrics.

L2

Ciena

Optical networking systems — coherent DCI and transport gear that connects data centers at scale.

L2

Coherent Corp.

Photonics, lasers, and optical materials — indium-phosphide lasers and components for 800G/1.6T transceivers and CPO.

L2

Credo Technology

Active electrical cables (AECs) + retimer + serdes ICs. AEC adoption inside racks the cheaper alternative to optical for sub-7m runs. 800G / 1.6T product cycle.

L1

Digital Realty

Largest colo REIT by footprint. PlatformDIGITAL fabric ties multi-tenant + hyperscaler power-shell builds. Pre-leased pipeline a tracked watch-point for AI demand visibility.

L2

Eoptolink Technology

Optical transceiver manufacturer — high-volume 800G/1.6T modules for AI cluster interconnect.

L1

Equinix

Interconnection-dense colo prime. xScale joint venture for hyperscale build. Higher revenue-per-MW vs Digital Realty due to interconnect mix.

L1

Generac

Backup power systems. Datacenter segment for diesel + natural-gas standby generators. AI-cluster MW-class backup at 99.999% availability requirements is a growth tailwind.

L2

Innolight Technology

High-volume optical transceiver maker — 800G/1.6T pluggable modules for AI data center interconnect.

L2

Lumentum Holdings Inc.

Photonics components — lasers and optical components for datacom transceivers and co-packaged optics.

L2

Analog & mixed-signal semiconductors — laser drivers, TIAs, and high-speed components for optical and RF networking.

L4

Marvell Technology, Inc.

Custom compute and connectivity silicon — designs hyperscaler AI ASICs (e.g. AWS Trainium) plus optical DSPs and SerDes.

L3

Micron Technology

HBM third entrant (~20% share). US-strategic supplier; CHIPS Act direct beneficiary. HBM3E 12-Hi stack the current product anchor; HBM4 roadmap announced for 2026.

L1

Modine Manufacturing

Thermal management OEM. Datacenter segment for CDU (coolant distribution unit) + chillers. Pivoted from auto thermal to datacenter as the priority business; renamed segment to Climate Solutions.

L4

NVIDIA

The dominant AI accelerator vendor — GPUs (H100/B200/GB200), NVLink, and the CUDA software stack that anchors AI training and inference.

L1

Powell Industries
