Silicon Photonics Alliance (SPA)

The first formal OIDA Community of Interest (COI) group is the Silicon Photonics Alliance, which had its first meeting at OIDA's Perspectives on the Optoelectronics Industry Forum in San Jose, September 11-12. The group will initially be headed by Tom Palkert from Luxtera, and will include OIDA members Kotura, Translucent, and Xponent. The primary objectives will be marketing related to raise the profile of silicon photonics in the discourse, finding opportunities to participate in applications forums, looking at key areas for standardization, and other goals to be developed by the group.

 

There is no fee for OIDA members to join the Silicon Photonics Alliance. A nominal fee of $3,000 is required for Non-OIDA member companies to participate. If you are interested, please contact David Iams (iams@oida.org) to get involved.

 

The next Silicon Photonics Alliance Meeting will be held at OFC.  More details will be forthcoming.
