Optica Executive Forum 9/30/2024 - Former Chair and CEO at Coherent Corp. Chuck Mattera

It is my pleasure to share that in a few weeks I will be at the first-ever Global Photonics Economic Forum organized by Optica. It will be held in Malaga, Spain!

I am honored to be giving a keynote presentation on advancing photonics technology and its applications.I will also be speaking on the CEO Panel alongside John T.C. Lee, Mike Dastoor, Anders Lindqvist and moderator Michael Lebby, where we will be discussing the future of photonics.

This pivotal event is expected to attract over 300 senior leaders from the fast growing and super-exciting, global photonics industry, including CEOs and CTOs among other corporate executives, entrepreneurial founders of exciting start-ups, academic and government laboratory researchers, and ecosystem investors among others.

The Forum will take place against an industry backdrop of the revolution in AI that is already here and the one in Quantum Computing that some believe is just around the corner.

Among the sessions, there will be an innovation showcase detailing case studies, a focus on the regulatory and compliance backdrop, a broad spotlight on disruptive technologies and the challenges and opportunities with achieving scale, and an assessment of market trends and analytics.

Stimulating discussions on two of my favorites; the strategic value of vertical integration can be expected, as well as those around resiliency across new and emerging trends including the information revolution, industrial automation, the energy transition, and disruptive life science technologies that I remain enthusiastically interested in. These will all surely require sustained innovations around advanced materials, integrated optoelectronic components, and lasers and optics to achieve their full potential.

I am truly grateful to Optica for hosting this inaugural forum. I hope to see in person and online many of my lifelong friends, collaborators and pioneers. It will also be a great chance for me to meet in person new entrants to the industry, many of whom have reached out to me from across the globe since retiring from Coherent Corp in June. I believe you are also vital to the light of our future.

Keep in mind

1) Coherent has a PowerPoint presentation where it mentions next gen modulators and EOP is of course mentioned

2) There is also this quote from Coherent's CEO at OFC in March when Lebby hosted the panel discussion.

“It’s totally possible that the technology that gets discovered by this tremendous power of AI, I think for the next 10 or 20 years that once these models get deployed and are built and refined, it’s possible that we’ll discover a whole new mathematics we didn’t know existed. Calculus didn’t exist until Newton invented it. Nobody knew about it. I think it’s possible that we’ll see large discoveries in the way in which we understand the universe. One thing’s for sure, it will require lots of investment, a whole new realm of innovation. And in the end, no matter how fast the silicon goes, no matter how the electronics evolve. In the end, we’re going to come all the way back down to the materials, to end up having to solve some basic problems to be able to take the next step.”

There is also a few other data points over the past few years before Finisar was acquired by II-VI which then acquired Coherent and changed its name to Coherent.
