The company focuses on the research and development of photonic computing technologies and AI chips. The company's core technologies include photonic matrix computation (oMAC), on-chip photonic network (oNOC), and inter-chip photonic network (oNET). These technologies are utilized to create photonic computing and photonic network product lines.
