Monday 23rd September 10:00 – 10:30 IOWN Global IOWN Global Forum leading Open All-Photonic Network The utilization of optical for information processing and transmission has been a topic of discussion for several decades, and numerous companies, including major chip vendors and IT firms worldwide, have been challenging past several years. As a result, the use of optical for transmission has become possible while still required advanced information processing. IOWN Global Forum established in 2020 aims to realize a smarter world where data, activities and people in different industries will be brought together in order to create a fully connected and intelligent society in which people and society benefit from advanced technology seamlessly tailored to them and their environment. As a step towards this vision of the future, we are working on “Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN)” which can provide advanced capabilities of low-power consumption, ultra-wide bandwidth, large-scale simulations, and ultra-realistic UI/UX for future services by cutting-edge technologies such as next generation photonics-based technologies. By shifting from electricity to optical, the IOWN Global Forum aims to achieve a transmission speed 125 times faster, a transmission latency of 1/200th, and a power efficiency 100 times greater by 2030. The forum currently consists of approximately 150 organizations. Several IOWN experts from Fujitsu, KDDI, Nokia and NTT are participating in this session, and you can learn about IOWN, activities of the forum and latest developments of Open All-Photonics Network, Digital Twin Computing, etc. PhotonForge: Unified Software Platform for Multi- Physics Simulation and Photonic Integrated Circuit Design Speaker: Dr. Prashanta Kharel, Flexcompute As AI drives unprecedented demand for bandwidth and power efficiency in data centers, photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are playing an increasingly crucial role in addressing optical interconnect bottlenecks. However, PIC designers face a significant challenge: the lack of a unified platform for running multi-physics simulations for complex PICs, resulting in time-consuming and fragmented simulation workflows. PhotonForge addresses this pain point as a next-generation photonic design automation platform. It seamlessly integrates with our GPU- accelerated solvers to enable photonic circuit layout, component-level simulations, compact model generation, and circuit analysis within a single environment. With support for process design kits (PDKs) from leading foundries, PhotonForge allows engineers to optimize and validate complex, real-world PICs, accelerating innovation from concept to fabrication-ready designs. 11:20 – 11:50 Marvell Coherent Pluggable Technology Advancing Next Generation Optical Networks Speaker: Bo Zhang , Senior Principal Engineer, Marvell Pluggable coherent technology faces several challenges in achieving higher speeds, extended reach, and improved spectral efficiency, all while reducing power consumption, size, and cost. In this session, we’ll explore the growing use of pluggable coherent solutions in hyperscale and Telco networks, focusing on the pivotal role of digital signal processing (DSP) technology in meeting these demands. We’ll discuss the key application 10:40 – 11:10 Flexcompute requirements and how the latest DSP innovations are designed to address them. Furthermore, we’ll offer insights into the future of coherent DSP development, emphasizing its potential to optimize cost per bit and power per bit, paving the way for the next generation of efficient and scalable optical networks.
12:00 – 12:30 POET Technologies Highly scalable 800G and 1.6T Module designs using Optical Interposer based Engines Speaker: Raju Kankipati, SVP/GM POET Technologies The use of silicon optical interposer based optical engines to build 800G and 1.6T pluggable modules enables a cost and performance optimized solution that can be produced in high volume with lower Capital investment compared to conventional solutions. The optical engines passively integrate all the optical and electronic components along with the monolithic integration of elements like MUX, DMUX and splitters/ combiners. This simplifies the module design and eliminates active alignments and the use of micro-optics like lenses and isolators. The use of optical engines can enable quicker design cycles and a simplified manufacturing flow. The wafer scale assembly and testing of engines and a simplified module design deliver a solution that can cost effectively ramp to volume production which is key to address the needs of large- scale datacenter and AI deployments. 13:00 – 14:00 IOWN Global IOWN Global Forum leading Open All-Photonic Network The utilization of optical for information processing and transmission has been a topic of discussion for several decades, and numerous companies, including major chip vendors and IT firms worldwide, have been challenging past several years.
