PicoJool Introduces 200G VCSELs and MicroVCSELs for Scale Up AI Data CentersPicoJool, a pioneer in optical connectivity, is introducing its 200G Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSEL) products with a bandwidth exceeding 37GHz. The company will begin sampling chip-level products in the next quarter, including quad 100G, quad 200G and 32x50G NRZ uVCSELs for slow and wide applications. PicoJool is already working with system startups and hyperscalers to define the next generation of pluggable, near-packaged optics (NPO) and co-packaged optics (CPO) solutions for AI data centers.
PicoJool Emerges From Stealth With $12 Million to Solve the Bandwidth Gulf of AI Data Centers
PicoJool, a pioneer in optical connectivity, today emerged from stealth with $12 Million in funding led by Playground Global. PicoJool has developed a fundamentally new class of pixel-level photonics that make optical links as inexpensive, compact, and manufacturable as traditional copper connections—opening the door to next-generation computing connected by light.
