VOYANT PHOTONICS ADVANCES INTO AI DATA CENTER OPTICAL CIRCUIT SWITCHING ( OCS ) WITH PRODUCTION - PROVEN SILICON PHOTONICS TECHNOLOGY

What happened: Voyant Photonics announced plans to develop a chip-scale optical circuit switching (OCS) engine for AI data center networks, adapting its production-proven silicon photonic switching architecture from its FMCW LiDAR platform. Key numbers: Citi forecast the OCS market could reach $11 billion by 2030. Switching time under 5 microseconds. Why it matters: Voyant plans to supply the engine to optical networking companies rather than build a full system, targeting AI scale-up environments and a potential path toward co-packaged optics integration.
