OneChip to describe its InP PIC developments

The firm will discuss its indium phosphide PICs used in the telecom industry at SPIE Photonics West 2012

OneChip Photonics was chosen for the panel discussion based on its development of low-cost, high-performance Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC)-based PON transceivers. These help system providers and carriers deploy Fibre-to-the-x (FTTx) more cost-effectively than ever before – and meet consumer and business demand for high-bandwidth voice, data and video services. 

The discussion will take place on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. in room 130 (Exhibit Level) of the Moscone Centre in San Francisco, California.

The title of the talk is “Silicon Photonics and Photonic Integrated Circuits” and the panellist will be Andy Weirich, Vice President of Product Line Management at OneChip Photonics.

Demand for smaller and cheaper optical interconnections inside computers is a main driver for silicon photonics, which will create a new market of miniaturised, low-cost photonic components that can leverage the scale of CMOS manufacturing. This panel will allow the audience to learn what industry leaders have discovered at the frontier of silicon photonics and hear how this will revolutionise industries from computing and communication, to biomedicine, and imaging.

Weirich has more than 28 years of telecommunications industry product development management experience (ranging from Digital Signal Processing systems to Broadband Access and Optical Transport systems), as well as executive management experience. Most recently, he was Vice President of Products and Technology at CIENA Corporation and a co-founder and Vice President of System Architecture at Catena Networks.

OneChip Photonics is a privately held company, headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, that develops and manufactures low-cost, high-performance optical transceivers – based on monolithic InP PICs  for access networks and other mass-market broadband applications.
