Optica Photonic-Enabled Cloud Computing (PECC) Industry Summit at Synopsys

22 - 23 Oct 2024

Optica Industry Summits are 2-day programs that feature panel presentations, in-person networking opportunities, and external company visits and tours. Optica is partnering with APC to host the third annual Cloud Computing Industry Summit. It has a focus on bringing companies together in the supply chain to discuss the innovations and deployment of optics in data center applications and beyond. Users and system integrators will give their views about the technology trends, timelines, and what’s needed from the optics community as the industry migrates from face-pluggable transceivers to optics co-packaged with switch electronics. What’s already here? What’s coming? What’s missing? We look forward to connecting!

Single-photon detection and the future of quantum networks and computing

19 Jun 2024, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

In this webinar we will focus on new products and applications of SNSPDs as well as fresh highlights from the lab. We introduce our new complete and compact rack mounted system, Eos R12, providing a standardized system for easy deployment in labs and data centers. We will show our new SNSPD readout electronics, scalable and future proof, to allow controlling hundreds of detectors. Our SNSPDs are famous for their exclusive time resolution, and while usually it is characterized by low photon fluxes, we demonstrate a constant fraction discriminator add-on to significantly improve the timing jitter. SNSPDs are a mature technology that can even be used in the most demanding applications such as deep-space optical communication and bio-imaging. In particular, we will showcase our optical SNSPD array receiver, developed with ESA to support NASA’s Psyche mission as well as the techniques used to image deep into tissue and beyond what is currently possible. From the lab, we are going to highlight latest development efforts on MIR SNSPDs and novel applications in protein detection for mass spectroscopy as well as a quantum spectrometer that allows the measurement of spectra, photon statistics, cross-correlations and lifetimes in one measurement.
