Optical integration: PHOTONICS

Abstract

With the growth of optical fiber communications and penetration of photonics into new applications in optical interconnects, optical integration is gaining a more prominent role in enabling this rapid growth and scaling of photonic components and systems. These emerging applications call for varying performance, cost, power or space requirements and may drive specific integration technologies to address their needs. This workshop is organized around requirements of telecom, datacom and optical interconnect or computer-com applications and their specific needs for components and integration technologies. The panel will address key telecom and optical interconnect market current and future needs. Invited speakers will present advances in integration technologies for these markets. The presentations address various integrations platforms including Si/CMOS photonics, large scale monolithic InP, LiNbO and hybrid integration. There will be two panel discussions as part of this workshop.
