Tuesday Morning continued: Topic: Components/IC/PIC/Fiber 12:00 – 12:15 Semtech 100G PAM4 Analog CDR for SFP112 modules – enabling 6G front haul architecture Speaker: Raza Khan, Semtech In wireless front haul where latency variation is extremely critical, a traditional DSP will not enable the 6G architectures. An alternative approach is looking back at how analog architectures used to dominate in NRZ modulations. We believe the road for analog is only starting, and are scalable to 100G PAM4 and beyond. A 100G analog CDR would enable lower power, near-zero latency variation and low cost – a true innovation that is required for 6G’s demanding architectures. Semtech has decades of analog experiences and is at the forefront of developing such differentiated solutions to enable the MOPA community as well as our system vendor partners with a path forward for their 6G architectures and beyond. 12:20 -12:35 Huawei technologies co. Ltd, China Advancing optical technologies toward 224Gbps/ lane for AI Speaker: Haifeng Shao, Huawei technologies co. Ltd, China The explosive growth of AI large language models is driving the evolution of optical components from 112Gbps/lane to 224Gbps/lane. This transformation affects all optical technologies including retimed modules, linear modules, pluggable or CPO formfactors, all must meet the AI engine massive bandwidth requirements. This presentation will review the latest HiSilicon advancements in 224Gbps/lane optical chips technologies, including VCSEL&PD, EML&PD and high-power DFB laser source for silicon photonics engines. We will also present details on how to construct the streamlined package that enhances the overall system performance reducing the crosstalk and BER floor. 12:40-12:55 Deutsche Telekom Evolution of Optical Transport Networks: Innovations, Trends and Challenges of the next Decade Speaker: Sascha Vorbeck, Deutsche Telekom This presentation explores significant advancements and future directions in optical transport networks over the upcoming decade. We examine the increase of data rates from 400G to 1.6 Tb, highlighting the capacity expansion to meet growing data demands. The adoption of ZR+ pluggable optics is discussed, enabling longer reach and greater flexibility. Innovations such as private line emulation, optical disaggregation, and network simplification are identified for their potential to enhance efficiency and reduce complexity. Additionally, the role of service orchestration in optimizing network resources and automation is analyzed. These trends present both opportunities and challenges, reshaping the landscape of optical networking.
Tuesday Afternoon Topic: New and Emerging Technologies 13:00 – 13:15 Voyant Is the Future of LiDAR still so bright you have to wear shades? Speaker: Chris Phare, Voyant 2020 was almost the peak of LiDAR-for-ADAS hype at a time when Photonic Integrated Circuits for LiDAR were considered science fiction. Four years later scaled implementations of LiDAR in automotive only appear in China, and growth may be stalling even there. While multiple companies outside of China claim automotive products there are few real automotive design wins. What the hell happened, and what does it mean for photonics in Automotive? Why have non-photonic approaches seemingly failed and do SiPH PIC solutions really offer a compelling alternative to machine perception, in Automotive or any other industry. 13:20 – 13:35 Coherent Corp. Coherent Optics for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites Communication: Present, Next, and Beyond Speaker: Jack Jian Xu, Coherent Corp. LEO satcom market is taking off as a major new opportunity for the optical communication community, driven mostly by the needs to cover unserved and underserved areas. Thanks to investments from private sectors and innovations, LEO satellites and the rocket launch costs have decreased drastically, enabling LEO deployment on a large scale. Leveraging fiber optics technologies developed for terrestrial optical networks, free space 100G+ coherent optical links represent an established solution today for LEO to LEO links. The presentation will address the key challenges and the specific performances required to satcom communications products, showing how long and extensive experience supported by innovations, technologies, and vertical integration, can make the difference in providing the optimal solutions for LEO satellites today and LEO to ground stations optical communications in the future. 13:40 – 13:55 Ciena Liquid cooled pluggable optical transceivers Speaker: Mike Bishop, Ciena As the functional density of equipment continues to increase and equipment power starts to exceed 40 KW per rack, air-cooling is starting to reach some fundamental limitations in performance, power consumption, and acoustic noise. Liquid-cooling on the other hand, is well suited to manage power up to 100KW per rack and is a highly efficient heat transfer technology which can produce significant energy savings in comparison to air-cooling. This presentation discusses hybrid Liquid-Air cooling technologies and how they could be integrated into routing and optical platforms. A novel design for a liquid-cooled pluggable transceiver is also presented.
