Lucidean Company
Lucidean develops optical interconnects and link solutions for data center and AI networks. The company designs hardware that combines photonics and electronics to move data with higher bandwidth and lower energy per bit. Work includes coherent optical links, with a mixed-domain architecture the company demonstrates at OFC 2025 to extend reach and capacity inside and between racks. Products focus on scaling throughput while managing cost and power constraints for large training and inference clusters. Capabilities span optical link design, integration of photonic integrated circuits with control electronics, and system-level prototyping and validation.
