Call for Papers

Silicon photonics technologies open up new opportunities for applications, architectures, design techniques, and design automation tools to fully explore new approaches and address the challenges of next-generation information systems. PHOTONICS (Photonics-Optics Technology Oriented Networking, Information, and Computing Systems) presents the latest progresses and provides insights into the challenges and future developments of this emerging area. The list of topics covered by PHOTONICS includes, but not limited to, the following:

• Implementations and case studies of photonic designs
• Photonics technology oriented architectures
• Optical/electrical interfaces
• Integrated photonic switching fabrics
• High-radix optical switches for data centers and HPCs
• Optical intra-rack switches and networks
• Unified inter/intra-server optical networks
• Hybrid photonic-electronic systems
• Optical network-on-chip
• Optical computing
• Optical buffers and memories
• Optical thermal effects
• Optical crosstalk noises
• Optical process variations
• Photonic electronic design automation (PEDA)
• Mixed photonic-electronic modeling, analysis, and simulation platforms
