Companies in Optical Modules

25 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

Celestial AI

IP and systems company specializing in optical interconnects for AI scale-up, coupling photonic devices into interposers.

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
