Photonics: OCS Roadmaps and Market Dynamics (Pt.4)

OCS roadmaps are splitting by workload: high-radix MEMS for scale-out and training, lower-latency silicon photonics for inference scale-up. Part 4 examines Google’s V8i push, NVIDIA’s dual CPO+OCS approach, market growth to $2.5B+, and whether microLED can solve short-reach constraints.

Photonics: Deep Dive into OCS Architectures (Pt.3)

Part 3 examines the four leading Optical Circuit Switching technologies — MEMS, LCoS, Piezo/DBS, and Silicon Photonics — comparing their physical constraints, manufacturing realities, and long-term strategic positioning in AI infrastructure.

Photonics: The $91 Billion Question - Layer 1 (Pt.2)

Layer 1 is the foundation of the photonics supply chain. Photonic SOI from Soitec serves as the base substrate for virtually all CPO and NPO designs, with TFLN and EO polymers acting as performance boosters on top. This gives Soitec structural leverage across all architectures.
