On this episode of the @HPCpodcast, sponsored by CoolIT, we meet up with optical I/O skilled and repeat visitor Professor Keren Bergman to debate the newest developments within the fast paced and promising world of optical applied sciences: co-packaged photonics/opto-electronics/silicon photonics/photonic built-in circuits (PICs)/optical I/O and optical computing.
She is the Charles Batchelor Professor of Electrical Engineering, College Director of the Columbia Nano Initiative, and Principal Investigator of Lightwave Analysis Laboratory at Columbia College.
She is also the recipient of the 2016 IEEE Photonics Engineering Award and is a Fellow of Optica (Optical Society of America) and IEEE.
Professor Bergman offers her tackle how silicon photonics had progressed since her first look April 2023(@HPCpodcast episode 54). There may be appreciable pleasure round (and funding in) the potential of silicon photonics, which can be poised to ship considerably quicker chip-to-chip information motion whereas lowering warmth inside servers and information facilities.
In line with Professor Bergman, the expertise is progressing effectively, she offers her forecast for business viability and in addition the sensible impression of silicon photonics on chip and server efficiency and on information middle cooling.
She additionally discusses the expertise’s adoption by chip makers in China and its impression on that nation’s technique for reaching independence from western (and western-aligned) chip expertise designers, producers and coverage makers.
We additionally focus on the startup Xscape Photonics, co-founded by Professor Bergman.
