Who we are
We pioneer silicon photonics to redefine how the world computes
By turning the optical layer into an arithmetic engine, we enable scalable, secure and sustainable high-performance computing, beyond the limits of conventional electronic systems.
We exist to ensure that computing advances AI, security and discovery without costing the earth it serves. Limitless compute starts here.

Computing for the future: Silicon photonics and sustainability
In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore noticed that transistors – the building blocks of microchips – were shrinking. He predicted that every two years, the number of transistors within a chip would double, and remarkably, this prediction came true. It became known as Moore’s Law, and it drove phenomenal growth in computing power that changed the world as we know it and fuelled a […]

Leeds, 10 March 2026: Optalysys, a photonics company enabling the future of secure computing and sustainable AI, has appointed Rosario “Ro” Cammarota and Phil Cheetham to its Advisory Board, effective 1 March 2026. Ro is an established leader in Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and secure AI systems, and former Chief Scientist at Intel. He founded and scaled Intel’s encrypted computing programme and led the development of the first […]
Learn MoreTokenised RWAs are a trillion-dollar opportunity – but only if privacy scales
The tokenisation of Real World Assets (RWAs) has moved from pilots to platforms in the last couple of years. Tokenising real estate, bonds, private credit and treasuries can improve liquidity, broaden access, and streamline asset management. This represents one of the most compelling applications of blockchain technology – transforming the global financial landscape as we know it and bridging the gap between TradFi markets and […]
