ECOC 2024 MARKET FOCUS
KEY TECH AND COMMERCIAL TRENDS ECOC 2024 MARKET FOCUS
Sponsored by
Now in its eighteenth successful year, the ECOC Market Focus has grown to become one of the focal points of the show and a popular platform to gain industry knowledge and insight into the latest technologies available. Market Focus showcases the very latest news and developments from leading organisations within the fibre optics community. A full list of Market Focus presentations and scheduled times is available on the exhibition website and in the show guide, but here are the Editor’s picks.
SELECTED MARKET FOCUS HIGHLIGHTS
World class performance for 200Gbps PAM4 and 400Gbps PAM4 lanes from electro-optic polymer modulators Michael Lebby, Lightwave Logic Inc Electro-optic (EO) polymer modulators are a hot topic in the industry today as the industry strives to increase modulation speed while reducing optical network equipment power consumption,
Novel coherent technology implementation approaches with 3nm-based 800Gb/s pluggables and 1.6Tb/s performance Bilal Riaz, Ciena As the industry strives to deliver tangible efficiency improvements in network scale, cost per bit and energy reduction, innovative technology approaches are required. This session describes new networking opportunities resulting from the use of 3nm CMOS-based design implementations for both 200GBaud 1.6Tb/s performance-optimized transceivers as well as 140GBaud 800Gb/s QSFP-DD800 and OSFP transceivers. Next Generation Photonic Integration and Packaging Solutions with Photonic Wire Bonding (PWB) and Facet-Attached Micro-Optical Elements Sebastian Skacel, Vanguard Automation Photonic wire bonding allows to combine the complementary strengths of different optical integration platforms in advanced photonic multi-chip modules leading to compactness with high performance and great design
optics shipments and forecast growth for the future based on hyperscale capex, end-user demand, and supplier capacity. As 1.6TbE modules begin shipping in volume, what does the future look like for 800GbE? Explosive growth cannot continue indefinitely, so when will growth in spending slow? What optics reaches and technologies will be required for next generation datacenters? Does the bandwidth growth inside the datacenter translate to bandwidth growth outside the datacenter, and will it drive Telecom growth?
driven by G-AI needs to upgrade hypescaler datacenters. Polymer
modulators are now showing world class performance for 200Gbps PAM4 lanes, with initial results at 400Gbps PAM4 lanes and headroom for 800Gbps lanes as polymers have significant bandwidth capability. This enables not only 4 channel by 200Gbps PAM4 lanes for 800Gbps pluggable transceivers today, but also 4 channel by 400Gbps PAM4 lanes for 1.6Tbps pluggable transceivers soon. Datacenter Optics in the Age of AI – Market Overview and Update Scott Wilkinson, Cignal AI Datacenter optics growth rates have exploded as AI requires exponentially more connectivity and bandwidth. In this presentation, we track the unprecedented rise in datacenter
Optics for AI/ML Architectures Mark Nowell, Cisco
Building networks to address the AI/ML workloads creates new and additional challenges for the optical module industry to enable optimized solutions. This presentation will cover many of the leading approaches that are being considered such as higher speed optics, higher speed ports, lower power and denser solutions and the consequent system design challenges. Learn how these solutions can potentially address escalating power and cost concerns associated with higher speeds.
