Xscape Photonics has secured $37 million in funding, raising its total Series A investment to $81 million and nearly $95 million in total since its launch. The funding was led by Addition and supports the launch of FalconX, a laser optical interconnect designed for AI data centers.

FalconX utilizes silicon photonics to transmit data at high speeds and can emit eight wavelengths simultaneously, overcoming limitations of existing copper-based interconnects. The company plans to scale its technology to support up to 128 wavelengths. Founded in 2022, Xscape aims to address the increasing bandwidth demands of AI workloads, which have grown significantly in recent years.
