OIDA Executive Forum - An Exclusive Event for Business Leaders in Networking and Communications Technology
Held every year in conjunction with OFC, the OIDA Executive Forum features C-level panelists in an informal, uncensored setting discussing the latest issues facing companies in the business. Join more than 200 senior-level executives as they convene to discuss key themes, opportunities, and challenges facing the next generation in optical networking and communications. Highly valued by participants for the frank and open discussions, OIDA Executive Forum sessions explore emerging trends and action plans for tackling today's toughest business challenges.

Here is an excerpt of a video he did last year
Electronic Integrated Circuits have revolutionized the world. 60 years ago the first computers were developed, they would fill an entire room and weighed a couple of tons. Now, with a smartphone of this size, you have a device thousands of times more powerful.
You may have heard of photonics, a technology that you encounter in applications as diverse as transport, environment, manufacturing, life sciences, communication. Photonics is all the technologies that use, create, modify, or detect light, for instance solar photovoltaic, LED lighting, lasers for medical/military/industrial applications, fibers for optical communication, and there are many more examples. Really, photonics is as pervasive as electronics, you find it truly everywhere.
Photonic Integrated Circuits gained attention when telecommunication operators were looking for a highly disruptive technology that could meet the consumer demand for ultra-high bandwidth at a much lower cost than with traditional electronic integrated circuits.
A Photonic Integrated Circuit, also referred to as Integrated Photonics, integrates on the same chip several components such as laser sources, modulators, filters, amplifiers and detectors which allow it to have a significant advantage compared to traditional photonic system assembly methods: it is highly compact, more efficient, and ultimately cheaper. But more importantly, it enables new solutions.
Photonic Integrated Circuits involve 3 main technologies: 3-5 compound materials (such as Indium Phosphide and Gallium Arsenide), Silicon Photonics and Silicon Nitride. Technologies are selected depending on the customer requirements and constraints. For circuits containing active components such as lasers, Indium Phosphide is used, and for some applications also Gallium Arsenide. For switches and modulators, both 3-5 materials and Silicon Photonics can be used and for passive components any of the 3 technologies can be used.
Europe has world leaders in all technologies to help you develop solutions, and EPIC has member companies all along the value chain: software, design services, equipment and material suppliers, research organizations, manufacturing services, assembly and packaging, and component manufacturers.
Photonic Integrated Circuits are particularly gaining momentum in communication, medical, aeronautic, automotive, and industrial applications and I would like to share with you a few examples, so that you will be inspired to incorporate integrated photonic solutions in your products.
An example in the medical sector, Photonic Integrated Circuits can be used to build minimal invasive scanners that can make detailed scans of skin or other tissue to a depth up to a few millimetres, for detection of anomalous tissue.
In the aeronautic sector, Photonic Integrated Circuits enable real time shape sensing in the wings of aircrafts. The twisting and bending of the wings can then be continuously measured and corrected which can save up to 8% of fuel which corresponds to at least 1 million dollar saving per aircraft per year.
In the manufacturing sector, Photonics Integrated Circuits can help in building cheap and compact machines that require a lot of optical functions such as DNA sequencers. Currently, a DNA sequencer cost millions and once again fills a big chunk of a room. With Photonic integrated Circuits, it fits in a little box such as this one, and is ten times cheaper.
Photonics and Electronics are key enabling technologies, Photonics Integrated Circuits are smaller, faster, and cheaper. If you develop products in the fields of communication, automotive, sensing, life sciences, precision and manufacturing, look into how Photonic Integrated Circuits can help your company develop more competitive products.

Notice he doesn't talk about Polymers in September of 2017.... Geez I wonder what they were talking about at Lunch???
Here is little presentation by him 4 minutes

If the USA Tech Giants don't step they could loose this, as info I think you'll find that Lebby Lives in Silicon Valley.
This is about to get interesting.
