Exploring Global Optical Silicon Photonics Market Trends and Opportunities: Insights from Daniel Henmi, Quantifi Photonics Vice President of Sales

Taipei, Taiwan / United States - July 6, 2023 - On July 5, 2023, ACE Solution and Quantifi Photonics jointly organized a workshop on optical communication and silicon photonics. The event featured Daniel Henmi, Vice President of Sales at Quantifi Photonics, as one of the distinguished speakers. Following his presentation, ACE Solution conducted an exclusive interview with Daniel to delve deeper into the industry's critical aspects.

With over 25 years of expertise in test measurement, Daniel's transition to the optical silicon photonics industry was driven by the remarkable growth potential he saw at Quantifi Photonics. As a leading manufacturer of fiber testing solutions, Quantifi Photonics has catered to renowned technology companies, research organizations, and universities across more than 25 countries for over 20 years.

Daniel shed light on significant market trends and growth drivers. He emphasized "the projected doubling of the optical market by 2028, propelled by the increasing demand for artificial intelligence applications and high-speed data transmission. Sectors like online gaming, financial services, and artificial intelligence are at the forefront of driving data transmission needs." Daniel also highlighted the emergence of materials and the growing need for mixed-signal testing in the industry. He discussed the opportunities presented by platforms and materials for silicon photonics, including utilizing new component systems such as 3D photonics for testing and transceiver applications. As an integration platform supporting emerging materials and technologies like thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN), barium titanate (BTO), and electro-optic polymers, Silicon photonics is experiencing a significant rise. The adoption of silicon photonics in the optical transceiver ecosystem is expected to increase from 24% in 2022 to 44% by 2028. This mainstream approach facilitates the implementation of linear drive pluggable and co-packaged optics.

Addressing the challenges faced by the optical silicon photonics market, Daniel discussed the importance of delivering services to the ecosystem and customers. Quantifi Photonics aims to provide cost-effective, low-power consumption solutions without compromising efficiency and efficacy for end customers. The company's focus on production solutions differentiates them from competitors, offering a more cost-effective approach. Serviceability and meeting testing objectives were identified as crucial factors for success.

Daniel also shared insights into the applications gaining traction in optical silicon photonics technology and highlighted successful deployments and innovative use cases across industries. He emphasized ACE Solution's local support for customers and their collaboration with Quantifi Photonics as pivotal for production. Quantifi Photonics, with its expertise in mixed signal test solutions, benefits from ACE Solution's comprehensive system integration capabilities, enabling customized solutions for customers in Taiwan, China, and South Asia. The alliance between Quantifi Photonics and ACE Solution combines ACE Solution's local support and system integration capabilities with Quantifi Photonics' innovative mixed signal test solutions. This synergy enables flexible, customized solutions and faster response times based on customer needs. The geographic advantage of Taiwan, China, and South Asia also positions the collaboration for cooperation with global branding companies.

As ACE Solution and Quantifi Photonics forge ahead, they remain committed to providing cost-effective test solutions that enable their customers' success. Combining their strengths and fostering collaboration, they aim to create a new era in electrical-optical solutions. With the industry poised for expansion, the ACE-Quantifi Photonics partnership is primed to deliver innovative solutions and support the evolving needs of the global optical silicon photonics market. Both companies aspire to achieve long-term relationships and tremendous growth over the next 5-10 years. By leveraging their expertise and resources, they aim to build successful cases, establishing at least five impactful user cases in South Asia regions. Both companies emphasize the potential for growth in consumer, military, and end-customer products driven by the continuous demand for high data rates.
