7th International Symposium on Photonics and Electronics Convergence, ISPEC2017
I attended ISPEC2017, which is the conference in the research field of Si Photonics, held in Komaba campus of Univ. of Tokyo. It was a great chance to hear very informative talks by invited speakers as follows: Y. Arakawa ( Univ. of Tokyo, PECST ) - Advances in Photonics and Electronics Convergence System Technology - AIO Core (Spinoff company from PECST project) L. C. Kimerling ( MIT, AIM Photonics ) - Silicon Photonics: Grand Challenges and Key Needs for 2018 - integration , standardization, cross-market platforms and supply chain coordination John Bowers ( UCSB ) - Reliable , High Efficiency, Low Threshold Current Quantum Dot Lasers - Heterogeneous integration of 6 Photonic Platform Alexandra Wright- Gladstein ( Ayar Labs, Inc. ) - It’s Time for Optical I/O - Formed by the inventors of the first processor with optical I/O Z. Zhou ( Peking Univ. ) - On-chip Polarization Control for Silicon Photonic Integration Peter De Dobbe
