OFC 2026

Imec

Visit us at booth 920 to talk about our research in Si/SiN photonics, optical interconnects, heterogeneous integration & IC-Link.

Additionally, imec is organizing ITF Photonics USA 2026 on March 17. At this event, you'll dive into imec's latest research on optical interconnects, discover why the AI fabric depends on optical links, and learn how imec's mature integrated photonics manufacturing platform can accelerate your path from idea to market.
