The OpenLight 1.6T PASIC platform has a huge, beneficial impact on the operation and capital equipment costs for silicon photonics, chip manufacturers. Manufacturers can benefit from a staggering, fivefold increase in efficiency and capacity from the same machines and assembly lines. This allows them to scale more easily and meet the huge and growing, global demand for 1.6T, optical solutions. More information about OpenLight’s 1.6T platform: https://lnkd.in/eKz8Kp68 OpenLight uses heterogeneous integration technology to allow multiple, passive and active components to be integrated on to the same, silicon photonics chip. This removes the need to source, package and assemble separate, discrete components to make the chips, hugely reducing the ‘touch time’ of its production and assembly processes.

San Jose to Combine Data Centers, Housing: A novel development in San Jose, Calif. will feature 3 large data centers and 4,000 units of residential housing, with a district energy system that will provide heat and hot water for residents. The project will be jointly developed by utility Pacific Gas and Electric Company and real estate developer Westbank Corp. PG&E will provide 200 megawatts of clean energy to support the data centers, which will use excess heat from servers in the district energy system. The developers say the project will "transform downtown San Jose by responding to demand for both artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data centers and housing." It's a different take from planning in some data center hubs, where officials seeking to keep data centers away from housing. By using servers to heat homes, the developers hope to pioneer an approach that integrates technology and housing. "We are a laboratory for the future — and in our city, that future is net zero," said San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan. "This project proposed by Westbank and PG&E has the potential to change the way that our cities are built, developed and powered for the better, and we're going to do everything we can at City Hall to support its success." Mayor Mahan and PG&E CEO Patti Poppe announced the project Wednesday at the company's 2024 Innovation Summit: https://lnkd.in/eUfM6XS3
What is an SiP? System in Package (SiP) is a method used for bundling multiple integrated circuits (ICs) and passive components into a single package, under which they all work together. This contrasts to a System on Chip (SoC), whereas the functions on those chips are integrated into the same die. https://lnkd.in/e4SdwwHR #technology #innovation #semiconductor #advancedpackaging #future #network #management
The insides of a silicon photonics module as shown by Marvell Technology. Why silicon photonics? If a discrete module has eight 200G channels in one chip, it requires four EML lasers to run at 1.6T. With silicon photonics, everything is integrated and four channels can share one laser, which means the module only needs two less-expensive CW lasers to run. Integrated silicon photonics modules are more reliable and scalable. https://lnkd.in/gWgw3w3t #technology #innovation #fiberoptics #creativity #artificialintelligence #management

Photonics, semiconductors and microelectronics might seem like closely related industries - and they for sure are! However, there are also big differences when it comes to manufacturing (in particular high-volume), standardization and equipment (e.g. metrology). These are also the aspects with many potential synergies and things to learn, especially for photonics! EPIC - EUROPEAN PHOTONICS INDUSTRY CONSORTIUM recently realized a great event in Munich besides Semicon Europa and electronicaFair for such discussions - Thanks Carlos Lee EPIC Ivan Nikitski, PhD & Team!

Posted a new blog about the importance of #OpticalTransport network as service providers push for 5G Advanced (fixed and mobile) and Enterprises/Cloud build AI/ML applications. Operators must invest in #DWDM infrastructure (400+ Gbps wavelengths, C+L Band, mesh) to deliver a quality service. https://lnkd.in/gFND_-Td
