The Photonic Enabled Cloud Computing (PECC) Summit just wrapped up today, and here are my personal takeaways from the event: 1.) It is clear that optical interconnects are a key enabling technology for AI Datacenters (but we all knew that, that's why we were there) 2.) There's been a lot of talk over the years about different approaches like Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO), Near Packaged Optics (NPO) and Co-Packaged Optics (CPO). This event cleared up that it's not a question of one or the other, but rather that each will have its place. Some applications require the flexibility LPO offers, while others need the higher performance that CPO provides, so all of these solutions will coexist depending on the use case. 3.) The real question is: What copper interconnects will be replaced by optical interconnects? It's thought that optics could replace copper for meter-scale GPU-to-GPU connections (like NVLink), this is still to be proven but there are many are working on it. Meanwhile, copper is expected to remain dominant for shorter, mm-scale connections like GPU-to-HBM3. 4.) Silicon photonics is being implemented at scale, but we need more end users demanding standardization around PDKs and testing from the industry to push us to that next level of maturity and drive broader adoption. At VPIphotonics, we’re helping solve these challenges by offering simulation tools that allow you to model and simulate photonic integrated circuits (PICs) within a full optical transmission system together in a single interface. You can then extend that solution to simulate the entire electrical-optical-electrical (EOE) link using our joint solution with Keysight Technologies ADS, enabling electrical-optical co-design and full end-to-end link validation. Check out a short demo of our EOE solution here: https://lnkd.in/ePBw9aiy Thanks to the Optica team, Jose Pozo, Olga Raz, Jon Pugh and Melissa Kallos with the Advanced Photonics Coalition for putting on such an exciting and informative event.

ICSO is underway, and we’re excited to see you here! If you’re attending, be sure to stop by and connect with our FSO simulation experts, Shi Li and Roza Navitskaya, at booth 21. Don’t miss their conference paper, "Optical Satellite Communication: System Simulation And Design Framework," which will be presented during the poster session today, 10/22, at 17:10. #freespaceoptics #simulation

We just launched the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung funded HYPERCORE project! The joint project is dedicated to the development of a new generation of #communicationnetworks to meet the challenges of the digital future. In #HYPERCORE, we are working to significantly increase network capacity, flexibility and security – while minimizing energy consumption. The key to this are innovative multiband amplifiers & transceivers that enable higher data rates without increasing energy requirements. We are proud to coordinate this project as well as contributing our expertise to optimize the metro and core networks that will serve as the backbone of tomorrow's hyper-connected society. Thanks to our partners from research & industry who make this groundbreaking project possible: Universität der Bundeswehr München, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Universität Stuttgart, Adtran, VPIphotonics, ADDIX GmbH & CAD CONNECT.

We’re attending the IEEE Military Communications Conference in Washington, DC, October 28 - November 1. Visit us at the conference to learn more about our free space optics satcom simulation solutions. The updated FSO channel models offer faster performance and new features like calculating isoplanatic angle and Strehl ratio. Our demonstrations will showcase the improved performance of FSO links using importance sampling for rare scintillation events and FEC for GEO satellite-to-ground links. #satcom #simulation #freespaceoptics
