Session 1: Data Center Requirements and Technology Roadmap
An efficient supply chain is among the foremost challenges for a company moving from initial product design and prototyping to volume manufacture. Current photonic supply chains tend to be highly-fragmented, greatly limiting the ability of many companies to bring their new products to market. These keynote presentations bring in-depth perspectives on existing photonic supply chains and challenges encountered to develop and manufacture products, from design and chip fabrication, through to packaging and test. Speakers will provide details of their experience in establishing supply chains and what essential factors are required to ensure advanced photonic products can be brought to market in a fast and cost-effective way.
MODERATOR:
Hitesh Ballani, Microsoft
SPEAKERS:
Semiconductor manufacturing is commonly viewed as a set of distinct and linear steps: design, chip fabrication, packaging, and test (including reliability testing). These steps may be managed as an entirely internal operation, or as a supply chain of internal and contracted operations. How do companies make choices to keep operations internally or outsource it to contractors? How does the manufacturer keep the supply chain coherent if it’s divided among different locations and vendors yet so interdependent? How do you find and convince partners to work with your company? This panel will present perspectives from different parts of the supply chain.
MODERATOR:
Madeleine Glick, Columbia University
SPEAKERS:
Darius Bunandar, Lightmatter
Thomas Liljeberg, Intel
Ted Schmidt, Juniper
Greg Young, Cisco (Luxtera)
This session will bring perspectives on performance and engineering targets for embedded photonics from various programs and the working lunch discussions. It will be an opportunity to hear from experts, compare the targets, and for a group discussion aimed at drafting a consensus roadmap.
MODERATOR:
Tom Hausken, OSA
SPEAKERS:
David Chen, Applied Optoelectronics
Richard Grzybowski, MACOM
Gordon Keeler, DARPA
Peter O'Brien, PIXAPP, Tyndall Institute
Current integrated photonic manufacturing capabilities are fragmented, making it difficult for product developers to build their own reliable manufacturing supply chain. To address this, the session will provide a comprehensive overview of established and emerging integrated photonic manufacturing Topics to be addressed include design, wafer foundry, packaging and testing, and the challenges which have to be overcome to provide users with a seamless manufacturing supply chain.
MODERATOR:
Robert Blum, Intel
SPEAKERS:
Phillipe Absil, IMEC
Ken Giewont, Global Foundries
Twan Korthorst, Phoenix/Synopsys
Sven Otte, Sicoya
This final session of the day will solicit perspectives from speakers and attendees on the key takeaways of the day.
