About this Event

Join us to hear from Zach Newman, co-founder at Octave Photonics, as he 'enlightens' us on how integrated photonics—the technology of packing lasers and optical components onto a chip—enables fast communications, advanced sensors, and new quantum devices. Originating in the telecom industry, integrated photonics now drives innovations from data centers to quantum technologies. The session highlights local research at the University of Colorado Boulder, showing how integrating light on chips (also known as Photonic Integrated Circuits or PICs) is revolutionizing how information moves and is processed, shaping the future of technology
