Exclusive Interview with Quantifi Photonics' Alex Zhang: Exploring Global Silicon Photonics Technology and Market Trends

Hsinchu, Taiwan - June 7, 2024 - In response to the growing demands for high-speed transmission and increased data center traffic, the industry has progressed from megabyte speeds to gigabyte and terabyte transmissions, providing a highly efficient and convenient internet experience. Given the limitations of copper and bandwidth constraints, silicon photonics technology has emerged to enable high-speed transmission. Quantifi Photonics is dedicated to providing efficient testing solutions focused on optical, electrical, and optoelectronic signal testing in the telecommunications industry, particularly in high-speed, high-bandwidth optoelectronic signal testing, supporting data center construction, and the development of related systems.

Quantifi Photonics has partnered with ACE Solution to deepen its cooperation in the silicon photonics market, focusing on high-density, optoelectronic testing solutions to meet the demands of high-capacity and high-channel silicon photonic testing. Unlike traditional optoelectronics, by producing different optical waveguides on silicon chips, modulating silicon, trans-impedance amplifiers (TIA), and photodetectors, traditional separate transceivers can be integrated into a single silicon chip, greatly improving transmission rates and reducing energy consumption, thereby enhancing testing efficiency.

As the Technical Sales Manager for Quantifi in the Asia-Pacific region, Alex Zhang has extensive experience in the silicon photonics industry, specializing in providing technical solutions to partners and end-users, particularly in silicon photonic testing solutions. Alex shares, "Quantifi's competitive advantage lies in its ability to support both optical and electrical signal testing simultaneously based on the PXI platform. This advantage makes Quantifi's testing solutions more efficient than traditional instruments in high-density, high-channel testing."

From a market development perspective, while silicon photonics technology is highly anticipated, many commercial applications are still in the research stage, and the market size still has room for growth compared to the traditional optoelectronics industry. In response to the potential interest from many customers in investing in the silicon photonics field, Quantifi and its partner ACE Solution continue to develop solutions to meet the needs of these customers, driving mass production applications. Alex shares, "Investing in the silicon photonics field requires substantial resources, not only in terms of financial investment but also in collaboration among different industry technology providers." Quantifi Photonics looks forward to collaborating with various industry players to achieve common goals from research and development to demonstration and mass production stages.

Additionally, Alex emphasizes the crucial role of partnerships in advancing the silicon photonics market and promoting industry innovation: "ACE Solution has an excellent team of software and hardware engineers, excelling in integrating Quantifi's testing equipment to form a complete silicon photonics testing system. From wafer testing to module level, ACE Solution's ample resources provide strong support for Quantifi." For Quantifi, ACE Solution offers significant advantages in efficiently integrating solutions from different suppliers and, through cross-industry connections and abundant resources, also provides more local collaboration opportunities for Quantifi.
