Visit us at booth 5205 to talk about Photonics
IEEE Photonics Award
Established in 2002, the award is presented for, but not limited to: light-generation, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection, and the optical/ electro-optical componentry and instrumentation used to accomplish these functions. Recipients are selected by the Technical Field Awards Council of the IEEE Awards Board. Congratulations to this year’s recipient, Roel Baets, Ghent University - IMEC, Belgium

Panel on LiDAR Systems and Technologies with Integrated Photonics - 14:00–16:00 - Room 7AB
Long Chen, Cisco, USA; Sylvie Menezo, SCINTIL Photonics, France; Shilong Pan, Nanjing University Aeronautics & Astronautics, China; Milos Popovic, Boston University, USA Speakers: Philippe Absil, IMEC, Belgium; Hyunil Byun, Samsung Electronics, Republic of Korea; Sen Lin, Aurora, USA; Clement Nouvel, Valeo, G
Description: LIDAR, i.e., “laser imaging, detection, and ranging”, is a 3D scanning technology using optical signals. Soon after the invention of lasers, LIDAR was put in use in areas such as meteorology, geography, and military applications. For example, in 1971 during the Apollo 15 mission, astronauts used a laser altimeter to map the surface of the moon. Such LIDAR instruments for remote sensing are widely used today.

Panel on Advanced Packaging Technologies for Optical Modules - 08:00–10:00 – Room 6C
Molly Piels, Juniper Networks, USA; Juthika Basak, Nokia, USA; Omer Khayam, Google, USA; Joris Van Campenhout, IMEC, Belgium Speakers: David Gomez, X-Celeprint Inc., Ireland; Alexander Janta-Polczynski, IBMBromont, Canada; John Martinho, Ranovus, Canada; Edward Preisler, Tower Semiconductor, USA; Sandeep Razdan, Cisco, USA; Sebastian Skacel, Vanguard Automation, Germany; Hasham Taha, Teramount, Israel
Description: As the baud rate, channel density, power and cost efficiency continue to scale up in optical modules, more advanced packaging technologies are being introduced to optical modules. Such packaging technologies include electronic and photonic ICs integration schemes, laser packaging/integration techniques, optical fibers or other optical connections, etc. packaging schemes that are developed at wafer foundries, outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) companies, and component and module suppliers. This panel aims to highlight various technologies and stimulate discussions on how advanced packaging can help/shape the future optical module development.
Talk on Highly Optimized O-Band Si Ring Modulators for Low-Power Hybrid CMOS-SiPho Transceivers - 15:15-15:30 – Room 6C
