Berlin, August 2013 –
PhoxTroT is hosting the first workshop for the European Cluster in Optical Interconnects in September 2013 during the ECOC in London.
This workshop aims to highlight the latest achievements across the entire spectrum of system embedded optical interconnects including electro-optical PCB, optical waveguide fabrication, connectors, components, devices and systems that are placing photonics among the key enabling technologies of datacom and computercom evolution. Moreover, this Workshop aims to focus on the practical application perspectives of this technology as well as the remaining challenges to be tackled on the way to full deployment within future datacom systems.
