Has Silicon Photonics Finally Found Its Killer Application? During the last decade, the exponential growth of data center traffic has been largely fueled by general-purpose cloud- and internet-based applications, such as video streaming, social networks, internet search engines, and e-commerce platforms. More recently, the onset of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) that leverage large language models (LLMs) for both AI training and...
Understanding In-Package Optical I/O Versus Co-Packaged Optics Recent advancements in silicon photonics are upending the optical market in the data center, with significant ramifications for how future AI, cloud, and high-performance computing systems will be...

Editorial
Taking the reins To glean insight from the subtle distinctions that differentiate one technology from another is a worthy proposition. The newness of a technology and the need to distinguish between the concepts of its “forecast” and its “roadmap” elaborate such a formidable undertaking. Though it had not quite yet adopted its status as a bona fide application, silicon photonics arrived in...

Industry Insight
How Optical Technology Will Save the Cloud The cloud. It evokes an ethereal, weightless environment in which problems get whisked away by a breeze. In reality, the cloud consists of massive industrial buildings containing millions of dollars’ worth of equipment spread over thousands and, increasingly, millions of square feet. In Arizona, some communities are complaining that cloud data centers are draining their aquifers and consuming far...

Laser scarecrow deters murders America’s enthrallment with corn can crop up in strange ways. Recall the internet-enabled rise to fame of Tariq Day, also known as “The Corn Kid,” in 2022. Day’s love of corn, which, thanks to modern technology, he reiterated time and time again on the screens of our smart devices, granted him luminary status in the world of corn. There is, perhaps, a rational explanation for this irrational...
