Photonic ICs, Silicon Photonics & Programmable Photonics - HandheldOCT webinar 

So true!

We also agree! so good

wonderful, indeed

So True!

Glad you enjoy it!

Amazing, agreed!

So true!

So good, agreed!

You probably care most about selling your very high price myriad of products. But OK.

Agreed! So good :)

It is, definitely

So good! Agreed :)

Actually yes!

We think so too! Amazing

Actually, optical data storage is quite common (Blu-Ray). But this research is usually quite separate from optical communication and optical computing. It would indeed be interesting to see a convergence...

We think so too! Amazing :)

We also think so! Amazing

I did not invent the dog picture. But I forgot where I got it. So I cannot really acknowledge the original artist. (c) the internet

@@wbogaert I showed this amazing video to my son, he really enjoyed it and asked me some great questions. over 35 years ago I went to the BT research lab and they showed me some of the work they were doing combining different wavelength of optical light in fibres was very interesting.

It is so great, isn't it?

This is a late reply but ICTP Applied Physics has a series of lectures (4 parts) on integrated quantum photonics :) I find that the information here complements those lectures well.

Nice

So true!! Let's look at the future all together 💪

We also agree! So good

Sure it is! We definitely support it

We too. It is going to rock it

Feel free to ask prof Bogaers. Contact details on photonics.intec.ugent.be

He just did with the french example?

This^ is why neurographical companies need the department of photo-quantum energy to accredit employees thus enabling the first wave of photon connectivity with silicon , contacts ,and clothing.

please just process the keystrokes from my devices to extract a copy or transcript of the requested information as you please. It will be a part of machine learning pathways for photon proggramming in current users studying history :p.

@@skoolscribe3918 This is crazy to think about.

Try looking for solar pumped lasers :-)

(electron)ic components are still employed in the motherboard hosting the photonic chip. your idea is only possible if every logic gate and semiconductor was replaced with fiber optic technology. At this point, any fucking thing is possible :)

Not directly. You can 'pump; a laser with sunlight, but you cannot directly convert broadband incoherent light into a coherent laser beam (not without a lot of loss). Goes against thermodynamics. You don't want to subject yourself to the wrath of Maxwell's deamon.

💪💪

still no reply

You'll always need a mix of photonics and electronics. Both are good at their own thing really.

well obviously, till they can make extuded crystal with the optical lanes built in to the crystal framwork and it would just need a light transmitter and receiver i'd assuume at scale this would shrink and clip to a PCB needing no cooling and could prob have multiple slots so you can just scale your performance over time with faster PCBs

@@arcadealchemist You have a point that ultra-precise material engineering (at the atomic level) would allow us to make photonic devices more compact. But there are more fundamental reasons why photonics will not replace electronics, and why the two need to be combined for best performance. First, photons are much larger than electrons. This might sound strange, but both photons and electrons have a wavelength, which determines the smallest volume in which they can be confined. For a photon in the visible domain, this wavelength is 1000x larger than that of an electron. so if you can make the photonic equivalent of a transistor, it would still be much larger than the electrical transistor. So you cannot scale this to circuits of the same size as today's electronics. Second, photons don't like to interact. But interaction is exactly what is needed to perform logical operations. So if you want to make an optical switch (or transistor), you need special materials and a lot of photons to make it work. Electrons-on the other hand, interact quite strongly through electrical forces, and you can make transistors that work on a very small amount of electrons. this means that digital logic is most likely to remain an electronic technology. But photons can do very useful things around that. For instance, they can be used to accelerate specific computation (linear transformations, which rely especially on the fact that photons do not interact very well), and communications where photons are not limited by the bandwidth and energy consumption of electrical links. In the end, better and better engineering will eke out the most from each of these technologies, but I don't think we will ever build a full optical replacement of our digital computers. One other type of computing where photonics could shine is quantum computing. This again does not replace today's computers but performs specialized computations. There are many researchers and companies working on optical quantum computers.

@@wbogaert i never said it would replace electronics you'd still need power and transistors caps moss n PCBs we're talking more silicone chips it could replace for some process, but it will take another 2 decades to have it in the home maybe less depends on how quickly the technology develops and with quantum in high demand it maybe a lot sooner than you think , people already selling these solutions claiming 10x faster than GPU solutions and 90% less heat. It's more about getting first gen Quantum gates for complex calculations, i'm not even sure what it would be good for but if people don't have applications they want to improve then the technology will sit there for a long time and the tech just becomes super expensive, good thing we're having a global economic crash right now :) I just need to know of the technology for it to evolve is all. i'm good at manifesting.

How about a 3d printer that prints 3d photonic chip printers

Good point: What is the proper way of pronouncing 'giga'? As in 'jig', 'gig' or 'gigantic'? I've heard native English speakers use the first two, not the third :-)

We too. Completely agreed
