  5. What has changed over the last decade? • Market share • 1993 – Losing manufacturing to Japan • 2009 – Movement off-shore broadening and accelerating • Competition from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China . . . • US companies moving operations off-shore • R&D following manufacturing • Corporate infrastructure • 1993 – Vertically integrated • 2009 – Fragmented, down-sized, divested, more focused start-ups • Technology platform • 1993 – Primarily III-V based • 2009 – Si has expanded into optoelectronics areas; higher precision growth, dimensional tolerances and structures • Technology drivers • 1993 – Corporate central labs • 2009 – Central labs no longer exist in industry • University research • National laboratories Sources: OIDA research Optoelectronics is in deep trouble in USA

  6. Photonics markets...are already global

  7. Asia dominant in OE/photonics • Asia owned 81%of global 2009 OEmarket of $353B Sources: OIDA research, IOA North America & Europe minor players

  8. Market share in 2021 • USA • Down 11%  8% Sources: OIDA research, IOA Asia remains strong

  9. OE/photonics market by major location • By 2021, share: Europe 8.6%, USA 9%, and Asia 82.4% • Asia photonics maintains growth (3.4% CAGR 2010-2021) Sources: OIDA research, IOA Asian infrastructure strongest

  10. OE/photonics market by country • By 2021, OE/photonicswill be a $500Bbusiness with many countries contributing… • China grows quickly • US constant Sources: OIDA research, IOA Design + manf  off-shore

  11. USA decade trends remain flat • Optical fiber communications and components strong • Photonic lighting CAGR 2010-21 of 12.2% Sources: OIDA research, IOA USA  exporting photonics jobs?

  12. Networks must address scaling...

  16. The challenge of network scaling in the core

  17. The challenges… • Network interface rates will reach 10 Tbps • Estimates range for 1Tbps in 2015 and up to 10Tbps in 2020 • Network traffic growth is outstripping system capacity growth • System deployments will accelerate strongly in the coming years • System capacity will become the most important factor • Simple extrapolation of current methods will not meet the need • Progress needed on all fronts (electronics and photonics) simultaneously • Market for core based systems will be robust Source: adapted from R. Tkach Alcatel-Lucent Driven by consumer internet…

  18. Scaling the core of the network… • We know (or severely suspect) • Global system capacity will be important in the next decade • And we are not keeping up here in the US… • Traffic growth will outstrip capacity growth • Volumes will be large and growing (internet utility users) • New photonics and electronics technologies are critically needed • We are worried that extreme choking (congestion, traffic-jams) will mean consumers will pay more for the data they use… • $/bit metrics are here to stay… Sources: OIDA research Limit how we utilize the internet…

  19. System capacity and network traffic (Including voice) • 2010-2030 forecast trends Gap??? Will traffic >> capacity??? 1Pbps 10Tbps 1Tbps Source: Adapted from R. Tkach Alcatel-Lucent Will we fill the fiber optic pipes?

  20. System capacity and network traffic (Including voice) • 2010-2030 forecast trends Will the price stop us from down loading data? 1Pbps 10Tbps 1Tbps Source: Adapted from R. Tkach Alcatel-Lucent Carriers will charge $/bit to slow us down…

  21. System evolution… Asia strong in network design… 1990s • 2.5-10 Gbps channel rate • 8,16, 40 Channels • 20-160 Gbps Capacity • SE = .025-.05 History 2000 • 10 Gbps channel rate • 100 Channels • 1 Tbps Capacity • SE = 0.2 History 2010 • 100 Gbps channel rate • 100 Channels • 10 Tbps Capacity • SE = 2.0 Near Future 2015 • 1 Tbps ?? channel rate • 100 Channels • 50 Tbps Capacity ?? • SE = 20 ?? R&D Needed 2020 • 4 Tbps ?? channel rate • 200 Channels • 500 Tbps ?? Capacity • SE >50 ?? R&D Critically Needed SE = Spectral Efficiency = Channel Rate / Channel Spacing • Even with 2015 target, traffic growth will exceed capacity growth by a factor of 10… Source: adapted from R. Tkach Alcatel-Lucent Challenge is to find 10Tbps technology

  22. Networks must address energy...

  23. Evolve architecture quickly… (while traffic CAGR >50%) • IP over DWDM transport: • Eliminate unnecessary layers and minimize underutilized equipment • Maximize architecture and equipment scalability Source: Loukas Paraschis, Cisco, OIDA OPTOmism Challenge: contain energy footprint

  24. Cost for power and cooling in data centers • Year 2000 • Raw processing ‘horsepower’ is the primary goal, while the infrastructure to support it is assumed ready • Year 2006 • Raw processing ‘horsepower’ is a given but the infrastructure to support deployment is a limited factor • Year 2010 • Three cooling challenges • System, rack, data center • Year 2021 • Green designs imperative… Source: Loukas Paraschis, Cisco, DOE, OIDA OPTOmism, IBM Research, IDC Power and cooling spending out of control…

  31. New optical technologies for the edge • Consumer bandwidth demands are the driving force • Applications, architectures, services, content distribution • Photonic Integrated Circuits • Lower costs • Use less space • Consume less power • Better performance • FTTH Delivers • Very high bandwidth • Network efficiencies • Future proof technology Source: OneChip Photonics PICs are the economical solution…

  32. Photonic integrated circuits save power • Important roles for green photonics in reducing power consumption in communications and computing • Short term – further deployment and upgrading of optical communications links with lower mW/Gb/s, also leads to reduced cooling requirements and improved cooling capability • Medium and Long term – new computing hardware architectures employing optical interfaces between processing, logic, and memory will lead to higher flops/W Sources: Lightwire, IBM Tighter integration leads to lower power

  33. What do we need to do technically? • Even more sophisticated modulation formats • Current systems at 40 Gbpsuse DPSK • Coming systems will be Polarization Multiplexed QPSK with coherent detection • Next: 16QAM? Multi-ring constellations? • More optical bandwidth • Beyond C+L band • Higher power fibers • Photonic integrated circuits • Game-changer for the edge (FTTH) • New laser diode/modulator schemes  maybe non semiconductor ???? If we don’t act  this will take place in Asia… US is in danger of losing leadership in OE R&D
