“Enosemi will dramatically lower the barriers to entry for any company looking to enter the market, regardless of photonic design expertise,” said Enosemi CTO, Ari Novack.
“This is one of the most exceptional teams in the industry and we are confident in our ability to push forward the next revolution in silicon photonics design,” said Shahab Ardalan, VP of Engineering at Enosemi.
Matt Streshinsky and Ari Novack were on the founding team at silicon photonics startup, Elenion Technologies, LLC, (“Elenion”) which brought to market leading-edge silicon photonics products for data center and telecommunications applications. Elenion was acquired by Nokia in 2020. Shahab Ardalan was an early employee at silicon photonics startup Ayar Labs and on the team at Gennum Corporation, which was eventually acquired by Semtech Corporation.
“As an AI hardware company, the benefits that silicon photonics can provide to the next generation of machine intelligence are abundantly clear, and this is definitely the team to do it. Enosemi provides opportunities to scale products in ways that were previously impossible and we are delighted with this first commercial application of Luminous technology. Luminous has several other critical commercial products coming to market soon.” said Marcus Gomez, CEO of Luminous.
