About
SCINTIL Photonics is a semiconductor company developing dense multi-wavelength laser sources for AI datacenter optical interconnects. The company’s flagship product, LEAF Light, is the world’s first single-chip DWDM-native laser source, designed to push speeds beyond 1 terabit per second in a single fiber with half the power and one-tenth the latency of competing solutions. SCINTIL’s proprietary SHIP (Scintil Heterogeneous Integrated Photonics) process technology leverages standard silicon photonics fabrication, using wafer-scale bonding of Indium Phosphide on Silicon to enable heterogeneous photonic IC production at scale in commercial foundries. The technology addresses the performance limits of copper cables in AI accelerator scale-up networks, providing the multi-wavelength light sources needed for co-packaged silicon photonic transceivers. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Grenoble, France, with operations across North America, SCINTIL has raised approximately $78 million in Series B funding. Investors include Nvidia, Applied Materials, Robert Bosch Venture Capital, NGP Capital, Bpifrance, EIC Fund, ITRI, and Innovacom.
