Photonics and photonic IC technologies are crucial to support rapidly evolving internet, healthcare, mobility, and security needs. Driven by data communications, photonic ICs are moving rapidly from the laboratory to mainstream and fueling a wave of innovations and product introductions.
Join our Photonic Symposium to hear about the latest developments, application requirements, best practices, and future outlook.
Who Should Attend?
The first day of the symposium will provide attendees with an opportunity to learn about the photonic IC landscape, including market analysis, vision of hyper-scalers and chip suppliers, disruptive applications, and future developments. The second day of the event will feature application-based training with Synopsys solutions for implementation, analysis and verification of photonic ICs.
