The Ironman Marathon for New Optical Materials 👟 🏆 🌟 LightCounting Market Research comments on a panel discussion on new optical materials at SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics Photonics West 2025 and the latest announcement from STMicroelectronics 🌟 As this report goes to print, STMicroelectronics announced plans to offer foundry services to support development of next generation #silicon #photonics #chips. This is a remarkable turnaround. 👏 The volumes of #transceivers with silicon photonics chips inside are reaching tens of millions and we are projecting for more than 100 million high-speed transceivers and another 50 million CPO ports shipped in 2030 for deployments in #cloud #datacenters (LightCounting Report: Optics for AI Clusters – January 2025). Also read our takeaways from a panel discussion at Photonics West 2025 with Corrado Sciancalepore of SOITEC, Guijun Ji, Ph.D. of AFR, Yves LeMaitre of Lightwave Logic, Inc., and Brad Booth of NLM Photonics. 📑 Read more at the link below. 👉 Full text of the research note is available at: https://lnkd.in/g6aCAEBu #optics #opticalnetworks #technology https://lnkd.in/gxDHpeMh
