Part 2 of 2
"When do the big players adopt a new technology and go from an electrical to an optical solution? In my experience, usually when they absolutely have to."
Mehdi Asghari, CTO, Kotura
Tuesday, October 16, 2012 at 3:40PM A Q&A with Mehdi Asghari, CTO of silicon photonics start-up, Kotura. In part one, Asghari talks about a recent IEEE conference that included silicon photonics, the next Ethernet standard, and the merits of silicon photonics for system design.
Part 1
"Photons and electrons are like cats and dogs. Electrons are dogs: they behave, they stick by you, they are loyal, they do exactly as you tell them, whereas cats are their own animals and they do what they like. And that is what photons are like."
Mehdi Asghari, CTO of Kotura
Wednesday, April 11, 2012 at 5:37PM Gazettabyte went to visit Professor Dan Sadot, academic, entrepreneur and founder of chip start-up MultiPhy, to discuss his involvement in start-ups, his research interests and why he believes coherent technology will not only play an important role in the metro but also the data centre.
"Moore's Law is probably the most dangerous enemy of optics"
Professor Dan Sadot

"The advantage window [of an innovative product] is typically only a year... Knowing that year exists doesn't mean that there is not a tremendous focus on innovation because that year is everything."
Marcus Weldon, Alcatel-Lucent
Friday, September 23, 2011 at 5:38PM Alcatel-Lucent's corporate CTO, Marcus Weldon, in a Q&A with Gazettabyte. Here, in Part 1, he talks about the future of the network, why developing in-house ASICs is important and why Bell Labs is researching quantum computing.
