Ayar Labs Testimonials

"The idea is to move the interconnects from the front panel directly into the same package, reducing the cost of the electronics. In this way, you simplify all the conditioning electronics, you reduce power consumption, and you reduce signal loss. You can also increase the bandwidth density per square centimeter. So, in the same footprint, you can have more optical I/O ports at higher speed.”

“Ultimately, we want to go to significantly smaller subarray sizes on our radars, towards digital beamforming. Optical I/O is a key to that as we integrate more advanced digital receiver technology into our systems. This could be a big boon for us in other areas where there are even more SWaP constraints, including airborne applications and missile applications. The ability to efficiently remote high-rate data from a digital receiver to another place in the airframe can be very important.”
