As data centers become denser and faster with the spread of generative AI, unprecedented speed and power efficiency are required in the design of communication and network devices.
Against this backdrop, interest in “optoelectronic fusion technology” and “silicon photonics optical integrated circuits,” the foundation for implementing such technology, is rapidly growing, especially in the manufacturing industry.
The Tokyo University of Science, Faculty of Engineering, which has long been engaged in education, research, and the construction of a design platform for silicon photonics, will give a presentation on the topic.

Fundamentals and structure of silicon photonics and optoelectronic fusion technology
The latest trend of materials and components supporting low power and high speed processing
Prospects of next-generation devices for the age of AI and high-speed communications

In recent years, there has been an accelerating trend toward redefining the boundary between communications and computing, such as NVIDIA’s development of devices with optical interfaces and NTT’s IOWN concept,
In recent years, the trend to redefine the boundary between communications and computing has accelerated, as evidenced by the development of devices with optical interfaces by NVIDIA and the IOWN concept by NTT.
