36Kr Hard Tech Exclusive | Senior Silicon Photonics Team Secures Tens of Millions in Angel Financing, Targeting Next-Generation CPO/OIO Optical Interconnect Solutions

Liangyin Technology recently completed an angel round financing of tens of millions of yuan, led by Zhuhai Technology Industry Group. Founded in 2024, the company focuses on the field of photonic integrated circuits, with key R&D on silicon photonics transmission chips, Optical IO, and Co-Packaged Optics technology.

CPO and OIO technologies are key solutions for next-generation data center interconnects. As the scale of AI large model training expands, computing clusters have increasingly stringent requirements for data transmission bandwidth and power efficiency. Traditional electrical interconnects face physical bottlenecks, making optical interconnects the direction for breakthrough.

This financing will be used for team expansion, tape-out iteration, and equipment supplementation. The company's founding team possesses deep industry background. Founder Li Yaoji formerly served as the Chief Technology Officer of Cadence China, with extensive experience in integrated circuit R&D and manufacturing.

In the construction of AI computing infrastructure, optical interconnect technology directly impacts the overall efficiency of clusters. Liangyin Technology's progress helps improve the domestic AI computing hardware ecosystem and promote the development of high-performance computing networks.
