Optical Computing 2024

Optical computing is a type of computing technology that uses light (photons) instead of traditional electronic signals (electrons) to perform various computational tasks. It leverages the properties of light, such as high speed and the ability to carry a large amount of information simultaneously, to process data. Using optical technologies such as PICs, Mach Zehnder Interferometers arrays, modulators for ML, off-chip optical interconnects and others, optical computing is expected to increase computing power, reduce consumption and lower the latency for high-end applications like HPC, or disaggregated data center. Optical computing technology is inherently compatible with quantum computers and there is potential for synergy between both. Some quantum computing platforms use optical components for qubit manipulation and measurement, while optical computing can benefit from advances in quantum technologies for more efficient data processing and secure communication. Discover our analysis of this missing piece in the development of photonics elements through market trends, technology choices and IP analysis to identify the players landscape.
