Perspectives on silicon photonics foundry: a new era

Over the past decade, integrated photonics have become an essential part of high speed data centers and data communication networks. Integrated silicon photonics (SiPh) is now poised to ramp in volume manufacturing and enable improvements in processing speed, form factor and reduced energy consumption for a broad range of applications including: communications, AI/ML, quantum computing, medical diagnostics and secure transactions. In order to accelerate the uptake of silicon photonics, focus must be placed on the development of an ecosystem – mirroring that of microelectronics – in EDA tools, IP development and photonics packaging.

Positioning electro-optic polymer modulators as an optical engine to extend data rate and low power performance for optical networking

Electro-optic polymer modulators are now being seriously considered by industry as it looks to increase modulation speed and lowering power consumption. Polymer modulators have inherent speed and low power characteristics, as well as the ability to be additive to any semiconductor wafer platform including Silicon photonics and Indium Phosphide (InP) using foundries. Furthermore, polymer modulators are small enough to fit easily into pluggable transceiver modules and have the potential to enable the future multi-Tbps aggregated data-rates that the industry anticipates over the next decade. The talk will discuss the latest results on foundry fabricated EO polymers for integrated photonics platforms with reliability data. This talk will also review the latest work in photonics roadmaps on both the integrated photonics (PIC) level as well as PIC packaging level.

Accelerating high-speed electro-optical interconnects utilizing Silicon-organic electro-optic modulators

The development of faster ethernet transceivers with data rates of 800 Gbit/s and beyond has become one of the major challenges in order to cope with the continuously growing global data sphere. By combining established silicon photonics with tailor-made, high-efficient organic materials in the so called “Silicon-Organic-Hybrid” (SOH) approach, electro-optic modulators with single lane-speeds above 130 GBd and sub-volt drive-voltages have been realized. Utilizing novel material concepts, SOH-devices do not only exhibit an unmatched performance, but also feature long-term stability, rendering this technology perfectly suited for next generation ethernet transceivers.

The 8th PIC International conference built on the success of its predecessors, with industry-leading insiders delivering more than 30 presentations spanning six sectors:

2023 Themes

Hybrid PICs - Sponsored by Vanguard Automation
Scaling PICs in volume using foundries
Chip-scale packaging
Optimising PICs for optical wireless opportunities
Driving deployment in established markets
PIC Vision: Revolution and evolution - Sponsored by OPTICA


Sales of PICs are soaring, with their deployment helping to boost the capacity of networks and data centres. To aid this industry, we strengthened the relationships between the makers and the users of photonic integrated circuits with the 8th edition of PIC International, a conference dedicated to the global industry.

Attendees at the two-day conference will gain an up-to-date overview of the status of the PIC industry, with opportunities to meet many other key players within the community.
