Where does the energy actually go when running large language models?
Why is the 'wide and slow' optical interconnect approach gaining traction over 'narrow and fast' for AI?
AddOptics
How do traditional lens manufacturing, injection molding, UV curing, and direct finish lens casting compare for smart AR glasses?
How does AddOptics handle waveguide air gaps and what are the optical trade-offs of using higher refractive index materials?
Konica Minolta
Which optical losses must be mapped backwards from the eye, not just corrected on the panel?
University of Vigo, QOPHI Lab
Why did generating white light in free space fail to qualify as a workable AR/VR display pixel?
Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology
Why do AR waveguides need blazed gratings, and what makes scaling them across a 200 mm wafer so difficult?
Why do coupon-based etch tests mislead when scaling to full wafers, and how can you avoid the surprise?
Tera Electronics Corp.
Can you build a 12-inch optical I/O without mass transfer or through-hole vias?
Aumovio
Can micro-CMOS drivers on passive substrates compete with LTPS TFT backplanes for mid-sized automotive displays?
Microsoft
Why does each step up in data-center interconnect reach cost a 10x penalty in bandwidth density per picojoule?
Why does a faster MicroLED lose to dispersion and fiber loss over 10-meter links?
Why is LLM prefill compute bound while decode is communication bound?
Why did heavily funded photonic computing startups fail to deliver and pivot back to interconnects?
How does AddOptics manufacture personalized smart lenses without grinding or polishing, and which materials do they use?
If microLED pixels range from 2 to 10 million candelas per m², what does that do to the final image?
