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 Dobbelaere (Luxtera Inc.)

Si Photonics for next generation of high-density & high-speed OI
