Cisco Optics Podcast Episode 15. Silicon photonics explained, with Ron Horan. Part 1 of 5.
6Silicon photonics was a buzzword in the optics research community for years before it finally became a reality. Cisco recognized it as not only a hot technology, but one that would deliver real value. Hence three key acquisitions in this space, including Luxtera which Cisco acquired in 2019. In Episode 15, we start a new conversation with Ron Horan, Senior Director of Product Management, who joined Cisco via the Luxtera acquisition. We begin our conversation with a history of Luxtera and how it wound up as part of Cisco.
Tune in to the latest episode of the Cisco Optics Podcast to hear about the latest trends and technical topics in the optics industry from experts at Cisco and the broader industry.
