Whitepaper
»Photonics for Next Generation & Optical Computing«
This white paper provides a comprehensive overview of photonics for next-generation computing, with a focus on optical computing and the entire value chain—from technologies and PIC platforms through design, packaging, and testing/characterization to key applications. It covers optical interconnects and co-packaged optics, neuromorphic and quantum optical computers, common design and simulation tools, and key application scenarios (HPC/AI, communications including QKD, LIDAR/sensing); it highlights new materials, heterointegration, and programmable photonics; and concludes with an outlook on maturity and commercialization.
