02.21.26 -- Fundamental Divergence: Photonic Computing Vs. Telecommunications Photonics

Photonic computing and telecommunications photonics optimize for fundamentally opposing requirements – latency versus distance, reconfigurability versus stability, nonlinearity versus linearity – demanding different materials, devices, and design philosophies.

Government involvement in metrology can boost innovation, collaboration, and public trust, as well as foster economic growth. However, it also poses challenges like compliance costs and trade barriers.
