@HPCpodcast-104: Silicon Photonics, w Keren Bergman (2)
We had the opportunity to catch up again with Keren Bergman to discuss the latest developments in fast moving optical technologies: co-packaged photonics/opto-eletcronics/silicon photonics, photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and optical computing.
We also discuss the sate of the market, the impact of AI, manufacturability, the software stack, ease of deployment, and the well-funded and promising start up, Xscape Photonics, co-founded by Professor Bergman.
Professors Bergman is the Charles Batchelor Professor of Electrical Engineering, Faculty Director of the Columbia Nano Initiative, and Principal Investigator of Lightwave Research Laboratory at Columbia University. She is the recipient of the 2016 IEEE Photonics Engineering Award and is a Fellow of Optica (Optical Society of America) and IEEE.
Our last conversation was in epsidoe 54 when we discussed a wide range of topics including: “Silicon Photonics vs. Fiber Optics used in telecommunications, the use of photonics c0mmunication vs. computation, what aspects of light are used to achieve efficiencies, packet switching vs circuit switching, current advances and speeds, economic considerations and likely first uses, supply chain, fabrication, assembly, and packaging technologies for photonics.”
