Realizing gains in energy efficiency, component cost and size-reduction through photonic integrated solutions

Suresh Venkatesan - POET Technologies

The integration of photonic and electrical functions in optical chips is necessary to address the future of communication links in computes, datacenters and the Internet. Advances in integration technology in different material platforms over the last 10 years have enabled reduced cost, higher functionality and smaller components. Poet Technologies is developing several integrated platforms within the company to enable reduced power consumption and integrated low cost components. An overview of the core technology and advantage for commercial product will be presented including recent advances in the development of its unique photonic integrated approaches to the datacenter market.  In addition, the company will present results on using dielectric waveguides to reduce the complexity of packaging and enable lower component cost and increased functionality.
