IVAM-Focus Group Photonics

Trends and Developments in the Photonics Industry
Dec 13, 2022, 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
virtual
Zoom-Meeting

Discuss with other IVAM members the current trends and developments in the field of integrated and silicon photonics.  

 

The fifth digital meeting of the IVAM Photonics Focus Group will take place on Tuesday, 13 December 2022 from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. (CET).  

In the first part, Scott Jordan and Daniel Achenbach from PI will explain trend directions in the field of silicon photonics. Consumer markets are currently emerging for wearables, autonomous cars, new computing approaches (photonics and quantum) and high-speed optical cables for immersive gaming and entertainment.  Each of these markets dwarfs the fundamental market for silicon photonics: efficient, high-performance interconnects for hyperscale data centres. Scott Jordan and Daniel Achenbach will address the problems and solutions and explain how photonics manufacturing can grow under today's conditions. 

Then Eric Mounier from Yole will take a closer look at current developments in the silicon photonics market. 

  • In which direction is the market for integrated and silicon photonics evolving and which topics are the next "hot-topic"?
  • Are there any new details about China's activities in silicon photonics? 
  • What are new computing applications, including optical interconnects? 
  • Are there new developments in new material platforms beyond silicon-on-insulator (SOI)?

These and further questions will be discussed at the next Photonics Focus Group meeting. This will provide a basis for discussion on opportunities and trend directions for photonics companies. In addition to the talks, the discussion round will provide the opportunity for networking and the exchange of knowledge and experience.

In the second part of the meeting, further activities of the Focus Group will be coordinated.
