Optical Wireless Communication and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)

Optical Wireless Communication Conference: a new edition is coming up and it will be held in Eindhoven in December 14/15 2023.
The main theme will be 6G.
What intrigues us is what the role of photonics will be. Jürgen Van Erps is member of the TPC, so Jean-Paul Linnartz asked him about his view: in #LiFI system, there are many aspects to take into account, not only pushing as many bits per second as possible through the link. There are also aspects such as how to steer beams, how to shape beams. There are different approaches to miniaturize the entire system onto a #photonic integrated circuit. Many recent developments are trying to put as many optical functionalities as possible on the chip, but we often see that when you interface the chip with the outside world, that additional micro optical components can provide added value to further increase the efficiency and the functionality of the interface with the outside world.
