Symposium

Contents

• Enabling the data centre
• Integrated photonics in the market place
• Advances in integrated photonics
• Where do we go next? Disruptive innovations


The symposium is focused on high-performance, low-energy and cost and small-size optical interconnects across the different hierarchy levels in data center. We intend to draw out and discuss the key technology enablers and inhibitors to widespread commercial proliferation of photonic interconnect in »mega« data centre environments and how the optical interconnect community can collectively help to address these.

The topics addressed will centre on passive and active embedded photonic interconnect technologies including optical circuit boards, polymer and glass waveguides, III-Vs, silicon photonics, photonic crystals and plasmonics in data centers.

The event is free, but registration is mandatory. Registration includes admission to symposium sessions, coffee 
breaks, lunch.
