NLM Photonics Unveils Energy-Saving Selerion-HTX Platform
Seoul, Wednesday, 13 August 2025.
NLM Photonics introduces the Selerion-HTX platform, slashing AI data center energy usage by up to 50%, boosting bandwidth, and redefining photonic circuit efficiency for sustainable computing.
Introduction to Selerion-HTX and Photonics
NLM Photonics, a pioneer in sustainable technology solutions, has introduced the Selerion-HTX platform. This advanced photonics technology is designed to dramatically reduce energy consumption in AI data centers by up to 50%, while simultaneously enhancing bandwidth capabilities [1]. Photonics, the science of light-based technologies, is increasingly crucial in data centers where traditional electronic circuits often struggle to keep pace with growing data volumes [GPT].
Innovative Engineering and Energy Efficiency
The energy-saving prowess of the Selerion-HTX platform stems from its innovative use of hybrid organic electro-optic materials, allowing for efficient photonic circuits that require far less power than conventional silicon photonics [1][3]. NLM Photonics’ technology capitalizes on the higher bandwidth potential and lower energy requirements of these materials, offering a solution to the pressing need for sustainable computing in AI-driven data centers, which are responsible for 20-40% of overall energy use in such facilities [2][3].
Leadership and Mission
Under the guidance of CEO Brad Booth, a veteran with leadership stints at Microsoft Azure, Meta, Dell, and Intel, NLM Photonics continues to push the boundaries of technology integration with sustainability [2]. Booth’s experience and commitment to sustainable living, including his off-grid residence in Austin, Texas, heavily influence the company’s mission to create eco-friendly innovations [1][3]. His leadership in the development of standard bodies, such as the Consortium for On-Board Optics, underscores his role in advancing the photonics industry [2].
Future Implications and Collaborations
The strategic collaborations with institutions like Advanced Micro Foundry, Enosemi, and Centera further validate NLM Photonics’ commitment to excellence and scalability in manufacturing [3]. With government support from NASA and AFWERX for applications in satellite and space technologies, the Selerion-HTX platform is set to redefine capabilities in high-speed, high-efficiency communications [2]. As the industry moves towards greater adoption of photonic technology, NLM’s focus on interoperability and standards compatibility is pivotal for seamless integration within existing ecosystems [3].
