INSPIRE
INSPIRE aims to revolutionize photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology by combining two technologies, InP photonics and SiN photonics, in a single platform through wafer-scale micro-transfer printing technology. This platform will allow to combine high-performance III-V opto-electronic components (semiconductor optical amplifiers, high-speed phase modulators and photodetectors) operating in the C-band with the high-performance passive functionality of the SiN platform (high performance filters, 5dB/m waveguide loss), on 200mm wafers.

05:18 AM EST, 01/24/2023 (MT Newswires) -- Amazon.com's (AMZN) Amazon Web Services said late Monday it has launched its second infrastructure region in Australia, called AWS Asia Pacific (Melbourne) Region.
Amazon Web Services aims to invest about $4.5 billion in the country by 2037 through the new region, which consists of three availability zones and joins the existing AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney) Region that opened in November 2012, the company said.
The new launch will allow local customers to store data securely in the country and provide them with lower latency, more efficient business operations, and improved real-time application performance, as well as access to advanced AWS technologies, the company said.

Think about this for a minute...wow
Data science, which represents the next revolution in pharmaceutical manufacturing, will become a fundamental technology in all pharmaceutical manufacturing areas. A crucial aspect driving this AI revolution is the collection, management, and utilization of specific process data.
A great read re: "Industry 4.0" authored by:
Stephan Rosenberger, PhD, is head of digital transformation at Lonza.

Depending on whom you ask, we are either in the early stages of, somewhat immersed in, or already fully immersed in Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 incorporates artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data to enable integrated and autonomous manufacturing systems to operate independently of humans. Like 5G, the metaverse, and genetic engineering, Industry 4.0 is assumed to be a revolution of gargantuan scale. Your opinion as to whether we are at the beginning or in the midst of this transformation is likely to be based on your industry and what part of that industry you work in.
Future possibilities
Data science, which represents the next revolution in pharmaceutical manufacturing, will become a fundamental technology in all pharmaceutical manufacturing areas. A crucial aspect driving this AI revolution is the collection, management, and utilization of specific process data. In addition, general data in areas such as warehouse conditions or raw materials will play a critical role. These data sets will be the basis for advancing our use of AI applications.

Endless possibilities
The conformable OLCD we demonstrated helps imagine how it can bring extra utility to wearable and mobile devices. For example the flexible display allows you to combine the features of both a smartphone and a smartwatch. So why would you need two devices when you can have one?
This technology is not limited to wearable and mobile devices. It can be integrated into car interiors, digital signage, white goods and other applications that will benefit from creative designs, more functionality and unbreakable screens.
The possibilities are endless.

EPIC Market Report on Modulation Approaches for High Speed Optical Communications by Dr. Nikolaus Schmitt
2022
Optical modulation has emerged as a critical, often hotly debated, protocol choice that can make – or break – performance. Underpinning optical signaling, optical modulation enables higher bandwidth for datacenter communications, improved satellite and terrestrial transmission and security, long distance data transmission in optical fiber – including coherent modulation, and even automotive LiDAR fidelity. This comprehensive report examines modulation selection for different applications as well as emerging trends in modulator components and modulation development.

The Radical Innovation Of A New Polymer Internet
October 6, 2022
How Do We Scale The Internet With Better Modulators?
The key metrics in performance for optical modulator devices that are important to architects of the internet today and over the next decade are: (a) optical modulator device speed measured in bandwidth, (b) optical modulator device power consumption, (c) optical modulator device footprint size, and (d) optical modulator compatibility for photonics integration.
Taking the optical modulator device as a critical device that both scales and enables a more competitive internet, then the following scaling metrics at least need to be addressed:
High volume—must be able to scale in foundries and large fabrication plants
Low cost—material must be able to scale in cost, with no supply issues
High speed—optical modulator devices that are at least 3X faster than current semiconductor incumbent technologies
Low power—optical modulator devices that have an impact of at least 10X reduction of power for the internet architecture
Ultra-small size and footprint—size is an issue for the internet, and optical engines that contain modulators can alleviate this issue
Integration onto a Photonic integrated circuit (PIC)[3] platform—following the IC industry, more functionality on a chip creates PICs that are more efficient and practical.
Today, optical modulators are used everywhere on the internet; however, they are semiconductor based, using materials such as lithium niobate, indium phosphide, and silicon. With all these materials, the optical modulator design has reached a saturation point in performance, which means it’s time to look at a new technology platform.
Stage entry: Polymer optical modulators. Polymer optical modulators are devices that switch light over 3X faster than existing optical semiconductor devices. Furthermore, they relieve the architecture of the internet by taking away the chains of limited optical speeds. This allows the internet to keep competitive by allowing speed to continue growing. Coming back to the road analogy, this is like increasing the speed of the motor car as you drive on a road, and not just a little bit, but significantly.
What This All Means
Scaling the internet through drastic innovation really boils down to the design of optical polymer modulators that have inherently increased the speed of the optics, lowered power consumption, are tiny, and allow for creative integration onto hybrid PICs. This clearly is the radical innovative engine of change for the internet. The future for the internet never has been so exciting!
Loving those green bars SS...
At least 30X better than competition…size, low power, and speed matter…
Quote of the day...
Polymer technology extends speeds, reduces power consumption...for decades...
This is just one customer and one application.
Yes, exactly Xena!
A money manager named Josh Duitz, while on CNBC's Overtime show just made a statement that got my attention, he said...
in the future we'll have autonomous driving cars that will use as much data in one hour as an iPhone will use in three thousand years
As the world’s hunger for data grows, as well as its desire to reduce energy consumption, the technology is expected to balloon in the next decade. Yole Group, a market researcher, projects a blistering compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36 percent for the silicon photonics market over 2021-2027, reaching almost 1 billion dollars by the end of that period......
That would require further improvements in bandwidth and power efficiency. In imec’s roadmap, the goal is to double the bandwidth and halve the power per bit of the optical subsystem every two years. As Van Campenhout already explained, that will require the introduction of new materials that might ‘break’ CMOS compatibility. But if there ever was a business case to take on that challenge, it’s probably inter-chip optical interconnects. “It’s going to be an exciting journey,” Van Campenhout says.

A thought provoking article published approx. 2 yrs ago by Morgan Stanley...
“The future of computing will not—and cannot—be based on ever-increasing processing power,” says Shawn Kim, Head of the Asia Technology team for Morgan Stanley Research. “Instead it will rely on understanding and drawing inferences from massive collections of data." In other words, computers that can use data to learn, adapt, evolve and “think,” much like the human brain.
That's a great analogy SS, I made the same mistake, looking right at the monitor when AMZN was $80, then $100, then $400 (pre split prices) thinking who would be crazy enough to pay that price per share for a company that is loosing money and unprofitable? Surely not me, umhhh huge mistake on my part as I made myself sick watching it go to $2k ish... I did the same with Tesla, listening to famed short seller Jim Chano's who lost his azzz saying Tesla was going to zero! Umm WRONG! This time the pain was doubled watching price go to $4k ish (pre split). Point is do your own DD, believe in your instincts and let no one influence your investing decisions.
