Aiming to become the global leader in chip-scale photonic solutions by deploying Optical Interposer technology to enable the seamless integration of electronics and photonics for a broad range of vertical market applications
Message: PIC International
It was posted previously on this board that Bill Ring was speaking at PIC International in November of this year. The agenda has been recently posted now and it appears he is speaking on a panel with Jean-Louis Maligne (POET Director) and some other interesting company as well.
PANEL SESSION
Does volume drive photonics integration?
Photonics touches our daily lives from our cell phones, TVs, illumination to optical communications. As applications and user requirement become more complex, there is a need for integration. The question remains what is the principle driver. Within each market segment there are different requirements in terms of speed, power, efficacy, size and cost. Is the mass production the key driver for increasing the functionality on a photonic chip, or is it the cost, or the application itself. In this panel session we will discuss the challenges faced in different market segments and whether there remain advantages in hybrid and discrete packaging or whether photonic integration is inevitable.
