How can silicon photonics benefit optical access deployment? An example from the FABULOUS EU Project
Silvio Abrate - ISMB
Employing Silicon-Photonics doesn’t just mean replacing conventional components with SiP components, but also means conceiving devices with a focused approach. The FABULOUS European Project proposes a WDM FDM PON based on an innovative ONU that would be very expensive and complicated if realized with discrete components, but simple if realized as a SiP-based PIC.. In this talk, the architecture of the network with a maximum performances benchmarking, made with discrete components, will be explained, and a prototype version of the SiP ONU will be shown, demonstrating how SiP can be a fundamental technology for enabling low-cost FTTH with high performances.

3. Silicon photonics in optical networking – yesterday's hype, today's reality, tomorrow's vision.
Harald Bock - Coriant
With on-going demand for network capacity, an increasing level of integration of optical and electronic components is critical to reducing the associated costs of power consumption and footprint of optical WAN networking equipment. Silicon photonics is quickly becoming one of the key technologies driving innovation in this field. This talk will explore the expectations silicon photonics has raised and will perform a reality check on its value in optical networks today. It will also look to the future and the benefit this technology can bring to the data transmission backbone of future cloud networks.
Sales of PICs are soaring, with their deployment helping to boost the capacity of networks and data centres. To aid this industry, we are strengthening the relatio
nships between the makers and the users of these integrated circuits by launching PIC International, a global co
nference dedicated to this industry.
Attendees at the inaugural PIC Internatio
nal co
nference will hear industry-leading insiders delivering more than 30 presentations spanning six sectors.
PIC Internatio
nal provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of this industry, from basic research to materials, equipment, packaging, and the incorporation of chips in data centres and optical networks. So whether you focus on system integration, developing and manufacturing components, financing this sector, or providing the materials and equipment needed to support this industry, PIC Internatio
nal is your must-attend co
nference for 2016.
PIC Internatio
nal will be co-located with the sixth
CS International conference (Compound Semiconductor).
