Luceda Webinar | A data-driven workflow to analyze thermal crosstalk in PIC switch networks

Want to efficiently analyze the impact of thermal crosstalk in photonic switch networks and optimize your device performance? The growing bandwidth demands of AI clusters and data center interconnects are putting optical communication solutions in the spotlight. By bringing the electro-optic interface closer to electronic chips and enabling high-speed, cost-efficient communication, PICs have become a key enabler of next-generation computing architectures. At the heart of these systems are complex optical switch networks, which face real-world optimization challenges between limited chip area, optical losses, and crosstalk. Especially if we include the thermal crosstalk, which is difficult to evaluate, it can significantly impact the architectural choices, layout decisions, and overall device performance. Watch the webinar to learn more about the impact of thermal crosstalk in photonic switch networks and how Luceda Photonics can help you design reliable photonic switch networks before fabrication!
