Silicon photonics: Q&A with Kotura's CTO
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
