We are thrilled to see the release of this co-authored book edited by Andrew Ellis and Auro Michele Perego which includes an industry-perspective chapter written by Frank Smyth #EverythingOverOptical #FiberOptics #Photonics #Connectivity #FutureOfNetworking #OpticalTechnology

A very productive two days with the #EU #HorizonEurope ADOPTION Project.   The meeting began with a recap of the mid-point project review which had been carried out by the Commission a few months back and which was very positive overall. After a presentation by each of the partners detailing their progress since the last plenary meeting, the team's focus moved on to the integration of each of the component parts into modules, and to planning the final demonstrations that will show the advances that have been made within the project.   The workshop closed out with a tour of Pilot Photonics' new building on the DCU Alpha Innovation Campus.    After a successful two days, with excellent progress made in pushing the state of the art towards solving scalability challenges in cloud and AI data centres, all project team members are now on their way home - safe travels everyone, and here's to the next workshop!     Photos: Hard at work in the Pilot Photonics meeting room; a tour of Pilot's laboratory; enjoying some down time at The Woollen Mills, Dublin, with Dublin's Ha'penny Bridge landmark visible in the background.   #Innovation #OpticalNetworking #DataCenters #SiliconPhotonics #HorizonEurope #Everything_over_Optical #Tyndall_National_Institute #imec #Huawei_Resolute_Photonics #Senko_Advanced_Components #Eindhoven_University_of_Technology #Fraunhofer_IZM #MicroAlign_Argotech

🚀 Exciting Day at Pilot Photonics! Today, we’re delighted to host our collaborators from the #EU #HorizonEurope ADOPTION Project for a plenary meeting at Pilot! 🎉 🌟 What is ADOPTION? ADOPTION aims to enhance datacenter efficiency particularly for high performance computing (#HPC) and artificial intelligence/machine learning (#AIML) workloads, which demand high-speed, low-latency data processing. Cutting-edge technology development is underway in: ✅ Silicon photonics optical engines ✅ Comb lasers and laser arrays ✅ Nanosecond optical switching using SOAs ✅ Advanced 2.5D and 3D photonic integration, packaging and assembly These technologies are brought together in themes around highly parallel co-packaged optics (CPO) interconnects and flatter network architectures based on optical switching. 🌍 A Complete Ecosystem for Innovation The consortium brings together an incredible group of partners spanning the entire value chain—from research and component manufacturing to system integration and end-user implementation. Stay tuned for impressive demonstrations in 2025! 🚀 #Innovation #OpticalNetworking #DataCenters #SiliconPhotonics #HorizonEurope Tyndall National Institute imec Huawei Resolute Photonics Senko Advanced Components Eindhoven University of Technology Fraunhofer IZM MicroAlign Argotech – Semiconductor photonics

Welcome to the era of Everything over Optical™

Thanks for including Pilot Photonics in this tracker Cignal AI. We're pleased to feature among the list of exciting companies solving tough challenges for the industry.

Pilot Photonics CEO William Oppermann will be at #SC24 this week discussing how our technology can help customers building disaggregated datacentre networks. If you'll be attending, and would like to learn more, make sure to get in touch. #photonics #AI #supercomputer24 #everythingoveroptical

Congratulations, Prince. We're thrilled that you've been selected as one of the #Photonics100 for 2025

We were delighted to participate in this Space Technology showcase last week. It featured an excellent schedule of presentations and panel discussions followed by a series of one to one meetings between the Irish space tech companies and the delegates from international space companies. Frank Smyth presented our integrated photonic solutions in particular our variable optical frequency generator which delivers #microwave, #mmWave, and #subTHz signals (4GHz - 250GHz) from a single optical chip. It will be a key component in next generation communincation, sensing and imaging systems. Great engagement with the Irish companies and international companies alike. Thanks to the Irish delegation to European Space Agency - ESA for organising. #space #photonics Airbus Defence and Space Viasat TTTech Thales Alenia Space ARGOTEC GMV Tisalabs MBRYONICS Celtonn ST Engineering iDirect Farran Technology MMIC-LAB Altera Analog Devices Réaltra Space Systems Engineering

The 2025 #Photonics100 list has been unveiled, celebrating the remarkable achievements of 100 leading individuals driving innovation in photonics and optical technology worldwide. The Photonics100, curated by a panel of industry experts, highlights scientists, engineers, and business leaders whose work is reshaping sectors from aerospace and telecommunications to quantum technologies and healthcare. With representatives from 19 countries, including first-time entries from South Africa and the return of India to the list, this year’s Photonics100 showcases a blend of established and emerging photonics hubs, and we are proud of the fact that both of the honorees from Ireland in 2025 list are our Research and Development Manager, Gaurav Jain, and Pilot's Co-Founder, Prince Anandarajah. The Project100 2025 reflects the growing recognition of photonics activity, with honorees embodying the diverse, transformative power of photonics. These individuals are shaping the future of photonics with novel approaches to data processing, AI-driven systems, medical device innovation, and beyond. “We’re thrilled to celebrate this community of photonics pioneers, whose work is changing industries around the world, sparking insightful discussions and driving progress on key issues shaping photonics today,” said Warren Clarke, CEO of Europa Science.
