- Description
The Heterogeneous Integration Roadmap (HIR) includes twenty-two technical working groups that span a wide range of topics within the heterogeneous integration effort. This talk will focus on the progress and scope of the Photonics technical working group. Also in this talk we shall overview some of the highlights of the technical working group presentations in the annual symposium. Those address photonic issues pertinent to high performance computing, optical interconnects for electronic chips as well as data centre applications. For example power consumption and thermal management challenges were highlighted as key challenges to be addressed in the near future and will be included in this talk.
The first volume photonics application was for telephony beginning with under-sea cables. By the 1980s it dominated that segment. Since then photons have been entering new applications and getting closer to the integrated circuits. Today we collaborate with almost all other HIR technical working groups as well as other organizations worldwide where innovation for new applications and improved performance for photonics takes place. Part 2 discusses collaborations in place today and imagines how this might progress in the future to accelerate the pace of progress.
