Photonics West 2026 offers over 100 technical conferences, 60 courses, and networking events spanning biomedical optics, lasers, quantum tech, and Vision Tech.

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.

Superlattice engineering enables atomic-precision control of semiconductor electronic and optical properties through nanoscale layering, creating devices impossible with bulk materials.

As photonic integrated circuits pack more components into smaller chips, power density and thermal effects create fundamental performance limits through thermo-optic resonance shifts, crosstalk, and stability challenges that scale nonlinearly with integration density.

Silicon photonics transceivers now exceed 1.6 Tbps using wavelength multiplexing, while co-packaged optics promise 70% power savings for AI workloads.
