Why Photonic Integrated Circuits are at the Heart of the AI Revolution

While GPUs and other accelerators might grab all the headlines around AI hardware, the giant machine learning models behind the AI boom would not be possible without high-speed optical interconnects to join these chips together. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs), which use semiconductor manufacturing techniques to shrink optical systems onto chips the size of a fingernail, are a key technology pushing these interconnect systems to ever-higher throughputs and making expansion of the modern data center possible.
 
In this webinar, IDTechEx Senior Analyst Sam Dale will discuss:
  • What is a PIC?
  • The role of PICs, including silicon photonics, in data center transceivers
  • How the growth in AI accelerator demand is shaping the PIC transceiver market
  • A roadmap for the future of datacom transceivers
  • An insight into IDTechEx's ten-year forecasts for the PIC market
 
This webinar shares some of the research from the new IDTechEx report, "Silicon Photonics and Photonic Integrated Circuits 2025-2035: Technologies, Market, Forecasts".
