$LWLG Related: PhotonDelta - What just happened in Brabant?
20 JUN. 2017
The Takeaway - Very fruitful kickoff Last week just over 170 scientists, researchers, government representatives and high-tech industry experts from 17 countries converged on the Dutch city of s’Hertogenbosch.
They came to discuss next generation technologies the world is going to need in 2030 and beyond.
That’s important now because we’re reaching the economic end of what’s popularly known as “Moore’s Law”. And particles of light (photons) rather than electrons will be the engine driving many new applications in communications and life sciences that we’ll soon take for granted.
The key to any roadmapping exercise is preparation.
Apart from many technical documents shared by big name corporations, PhotonDelta commissioned Dr Michael Lebby of Lightwave Logic, Colorado, USA to conduct an independent, comprehensive global market study for the forum. Having a good view of where the markets are, what the revenues might be and the volumes of the units needed is essential input for the roadmap discussions to be meaningful.
“We discovered that there were huge volumes of integrated photonics needed for the photonic component business" says Lebby. "In particular, we noticed that optical transceivers are going to use a lot of more integrated photonics than many have predicted.
There currently five major areas of photonics; Today, the main incumbent technology is Indium Phosphide (InP), with new entrants such as Silicon Photonics (SiP), Dielectric Photonics (DP), and more recently Polymer Photonics (PP). The technologies that are going to succeed are the ones that are the most scalable.
But we can see some gaps emerging between what the datacenter industry is demanding by 2020 and the price-points that researchers say they can deliver."
Fast Facts: What is Integrated Photonics?
Integrated photonics is an emerging branch of photonics in which complex photonic circuits process and transmit light signals. It’s like the way electronic integrated circuits process and transmit electronic signals but with some important differences.
Electrons are sluggish. They interact with one another and the copper wires through which they travel. This limits how much information can be transmitted. In contrast, photons move at the speed of light with no interference, allowing many discrete pieces of information to be transmitted at once.
Electronic currents heat up; photons can transmit great amounts of information, releasing only a fraction of the energy they carry.
Integrating more photonic devices in micron-scale proximity on a computer chip enables more of its components – transistors, memory, modulators, detectors – to work seamlessly together.
These advantages enable information to move across a chip faster and more efficiently, consuming considerable less power.
To mitigate fabrication costs, researchers are developing fabrication methods to incorporate photonic components into chips using the same tools used in existing fabrication facilities for electronic circuits.
