Mr. Jerritt Thomas, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Emisha Innovations Inc.

Jerritt Thomas is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Emisha Innovations Inc., a U.S. technology and government solutions company advancing photonic computing, semiconductor systems, secure communications, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing. He leads the development and commercialization strategy for Emisha SoL-X, an integrated photonic computing platform designed to move data and perform core processing functions using light. The platform brings together the SoL-X microprocessor, optical memory, optical printed-circuit-board interconnects, and photonic communications modules to address the bandwidth, latency, energy, and scaling limits of conventional electronic architectures. Thomas also directs Emisha’s EIS advanced semiconductor facility program and its collaborations with commercial foundries, research institutions, and technology partners. His work focuses on building a practical path from photonic device concepts to manufacturable, secure systems for artificial intelligence, data centers, communications, defense, and space applications.

 

Topic:

Emisha SoL-X

 

Abstract:

Artificial intelligence and data-intensive computing are increasingly constrained by the energy and latency required to move data among processors, memory, circuit boards, and network interfaces. Emisha SoL-X is an integrated photonic computing platform designed to address this bottleneck by using light for high-bandwidth data movement and selected computing functions. This presentation introduces the SoL-X system architecture, including the SoL-X photonic microprocessor, SoL-XRAM optical memory, SoL-X PCB optical interconnect platform, and SoL-XRF communications module. It will explain Emisha’s approach to wavelength-defined logic and routing, tunable laser sources, three-dimensional photonic integration, and hybrid photonic-electronic packaging. The discussion will also outline a phased commercialization and manufacturing strategy built around foundry PDK access, multi-project-wafer prototyping, packaging, test, and application-driven validation. Target applications include AI and high-performance computing, data centers, secure defense systems, space platforms, and next-generation communications. Rather than presenting photonics as an isolated accelerator, SoL-X is positioned as a modular platform intended to connect compute, memory, board-level interconnect, and communications into a scalable system architecture.
