AI/ML and Photonics: A partnership made in heaven?

The article considers how technology developments in Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are addressing rising demand for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. This is to meet the needs of a global Silicon Photonics market, which is expected to grow in value from US$ 1.5 billion in 2022 to US$ 8.3 billion by 2030, according to Coherent Market Insights (CMI). John Williamson believes the prime drivers behind this are the increased adoption of Silicon Photonics in data centres and the related, integration of Silicon Photonics with AI and ML.

Within the article, Adam explains how OpenLight’s PASIC technology, with InP lasers heterogeneously integrated, will be key to producing next-generation, pluggable transceivers for datacenters and AI/ML applications. These will help achieve efficiency levels better than 3 pJ/bit, compared to today’s modules at 12-14 pJ/bit, helping accelerate the transition from 800G to 1.6T and 3.2T.

Adam is joined in the article by other industry leaders: Manish Mehta of Broadcom Inc., Christian Urricariet of Intel Corporation; Dr. Vladimir Kozlov of LightCounting and Vikas Gupta of Global Foundries.
