Photonics Horizons: the Future of AI, Computing, and Connectivity

As AI infrastructure advances, the demand for optical connectivity is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. With each new generation of GPUs and accelerators, optical interconnect bandwidth is expected to double, driving the industry toward terabit-per-lane optics within the next five years. This rapid scaling presents significant challenges in bandwidth density, power efficiency, and cost.

At the same time, photonics is evolving beyond high-bandwidth optical interconnects, spurring innovations in novel photonic architectures for AI acceleration and network switching. This workshop will explore both the key challenges and the most promising advancements in photonics technology.

Join industry leaders and researchers as we shape the next decade of photonic innovation and its transformative impact on AI, high-performance computing, and global connectivity.
