Bringing coherent communication into the datacenter for the first time
At Pilot Photonics, we are committed to becoming the leading supplier of comb-based light sources for AI/ML data centers. Our innovative project, Comb-based Coherent Co-packaged Optics (COCOPOP), is designed to tackle one of the world’s most advanced challenges in datacenter scaling, impacting millions of lives every day with faster, more responsive, and highly efficient optical communications.
The COCOPOP project, with €2.5M funded by the European Union's HORIZON-EIC-2023-TRANSITION CHALLENGES programme under grant agreement No 101136762, is a 3 year contract that will deliver the world’s first coherent capable External Laser Source (ELS) based on a chip scale comb laser, which enables continued scaling of CPO/OIO systems even with today’s solutions, while future proofing and enabling the inevitable transition to coherent in the datacenter.

Performance
COCOPOP will enable highly parallel, high bit rate coherent communication in the datacentre for the first time. Our ELS will deliver between 4 and 16 times more wavelengths than today’s state of the art and kHz linewidths, 10 – 100 times better than other commercial offerings.
-
Scalable Capacity
Our COCOPOP ELS ensures your datacenter can continue scaling, supporting an ever-increasing data traffic, between 6 and 10 times more throughput that current systems, with the potential to double the energy efficiency.
-
Future-Ready Technology
COCOPOP's cutting-edge comb-based ELS, can be applied to current networks and future-proofs them for continued scaling.
