APC Introduces Standards to Accelerate Photonics Manufacturing and Address Supply Chain Challenges
The Advanced Photonics Coalition (APC) has introduced standards to accelerate photonics manufacturing and address supply chain bottlenecks, while promoting open ecosystems to reduce reliance on critical materials like indium phosphide. These standards aim to enable high-volume production of optical networking components, supporting AI infrastructure demands and improving energy efficiency through co-packaged optics and nanosecond optical circuit switching.
