Gemtek Announces AiPhoton™ Transceiver Targeting Hyperscale AI Data Centers Based on NewPhotonics® 1.6T NPG10204 PIC with Integrated Laser

HSINCHU, Taiwan, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gemtek Technology Company Ltd, a global leader in advanced networking solutions, today announced the AiPhoton 1.6T OSFP transceiver. Built in collaboration with NewPhotonics®, a pioneer in photonic integrated circuits, the module features the NPG10204 DR8 PIC transmitter-on-chip. This latest PIC-based pluggable enables simplified manufacturing of photonic ICs delivering advanced DSP functionality in octal channel 224Gbps per lane for scale-out interconnect solutions at hyperscaler AI data centers.

The multi-channel monolithic PIC with integrated laser and modulator offers single-mode PAM4 (IMDD) with low power and improved signal integrity for 200G/channel applications. The highly integrated flip chip eliminates complex optical assembly and wire-bonding steps, simplifying manufacturing challenges to improve yield maturity, reliability, and efficiencies that accelerate time to deployment.

"With the introduction of AiPhoton we are well-positioned to meet the hyperscaler shift into high-volume demand for 1.6T pluggables," said James Lee, President, Gemtek. "Our automated manufacturing capabilities, combined with the highly integrated NewPhotonics PIC designed for fast, reliable time-to-market production, ensure next-gen connectivity solution availability that fills the supply gap driven by AI."

The AiPhoton 1.6Tbps DR8 OSFP module design introduces a new generation of low-power transceivers that can be produced at volume and quality scale.

"Gemtek demonstrates how integrated advanced silicon photonics translates directly into scalable, power-efficient 1.6T connectivity for AI infrastructure," said Doron Tal, SVP and GM of Optical Connectivity at NewPhotonics. "Combining our laser-integrated PIC with Gemtek's proven high-volume manufacturing capabilities enables a new class of 200G-per-lane pluggables designed to meet the market's urgent need for 1.6T optics at hyperscale."
