Yole Group is proud to collaborate with the Asia Photonics Expo (APE) to organize the highly attractive Forum on Photonics Integration: Transforming Data Communication Applications.

This will take place on March 6 in Singapore alongside the APE. This event will explore recent trends in integrated photonics technology and datacom applications. In the coming years, network traffic will experience exponential growth, driven by the dynamic influence of cloud-based technologies for telework and personal use. This surge is fueled by Artificial Intelligence breakthroughs, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, ultra-high-definition video-on-demand from platforms like YouTube and Netflix, and the expanding reach of 5G networks. As integrators incorporate generative AI into everyday applications, the demand for computing power and data transfer capacity in data centers intensifies. The density of server computers required for AI applications also raises concerns about heat generation, posing challenges for energy efficiency and sustainability.

This workshop will shed light on the booming demand for affordable, low-power optical transceivers, underscoring the growing significance of silicon photonics. Amid ongoing debates, emerging approaches like optical/Os are poised to enter the market once technical hurdles are surmounted. This transformative technology will facilitate optical connections for very-short-reach transmission distances, such as intra-rack applications or within systems. The workshop will explore evolving player strategies, upcoming technologies, roadmaps, and market forecasts within the optical communication industry. Join us to stay informed and engaged in this rapidly evolving landscape!
