“Our technology opens a new era of green communication, significantly reduces carbon emissions, and makes the planet a better place for all of us,” says Yosef Ben-Ezra, CTO of start-up NewPhotonics. 

Ben-Ezra is developing a new generation of optical transceivers to replace power-hungry digital signal processors. Implementing all-optical signal processing, he says, will significantly reduce power consumption while improving overall performance – something he believes will benefit data centres for high-performance computation and generative AI.
