ECOC 2022 MARKET FOCUS
ECOC 2022 MARKET FOCUS THE FUTURE IS HERE!
Sponsored by
One of the biggest attractions at the ECOC Expo every year is inevitably the Market Focus. Now in its sixteenth 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. Sponsored by Marvell, 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.
SELECTED MARKET FOCUS HIGHLIGHTS
Utilising Foundries to Scale Hybrid Electro-Optic Polymer Modulators Lightwave Logic Inc: Dr. Michael Lebby, CEO and Dr. John Zyskind, VP Engineering The talk will discuss the latest results on foundry fabricated stable and reliable EO polymers for integrated photonics platforms. This talk will also review the latest work in photonics roadmaps on both the integrated photonics (PIC) level as well as PIC packaging level. The roadmaps are a working, living document that helps plot out PIC platform challenges, opportunities, and directions for a broad portfolio of stakeholders over the next decade. The roadmaps review next generation aggregated data rates, and how these challenges can be addressed by polymer-based technologies. Silicon Photonics Technologies Supporting Telecom and Data Centre Applications SiFotonics Technologies: Rang- Chen Yu, Sr. Vice President In this talk, Rang-Chen Yu will present optical transceiver module
Next Generation Coherent Interfaces
solutions with silicon photonics for wider scale applications covering 5G mobile xHaul, next generation PON, as well as metro, and data centre applications. Foundational silicon photonics platforms such as Ge/Si APD, coherent integrated photonics circuits, and high channel count IMDD PICs will be discussed in the context of supporting these solutions to meet broader requirements of low power, low cost, small size, extended temperature operations. Examples of transceiver solutions uniquely addressing these broad applications will also be discussed. Low Loss Pics: From Fast Prototyping to High Volumes LIGENTEC: Michael Geiselmann, Managing Director This webinar will give an overview of LIGENTEC’s low loss PICs based on silicon nitride and application areas in LiDAR, Quantum and sensing. It will explain LIGENTEC’s Process Design Kit and different fabrication modules. Reproducibility and uniformity are of critical importance and are addressed with statistical process control in our 100mm and 200mm wafer fabrication.
Acacia (now part of Cisco): Tom Williams, Sr. Director of Marketing The industry has made exceptional advancements in coherent implementations that are changing network architectures. Multi-haul solutions offer flexible transmission features, such as adaptive baud rate and probabilistic constellation shaping, as well as performance optimised design implementations that approach the Shannon Limit. Industry standardised pluggable solutions are being widely adopted in high-volume metro applications for both webscale and service provider networks, resulting in the fastest growing segment of the transport market. The presentation will discuss how these trends will influence the design of next generation optics and network architectures. Solving Technical and Operational Challenges of Pushing Coherent to the Edge Infinera: Dave Welch PhD. Founder and Chief Innovation Officer This session covers innovative and proven design principals of building
