Abstract Significant enhancements in inertial sensor performance can be obtained by combining high volume compatible mechanical structures from the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) industry with silicon photonic microresonators. Although noise floors 100-1,000x lower than typical consumer grade MEMS accelerometer and gyroscopes can be achieved, new challenges arise with integration of light sources including requirements on driving and controlling photonic elements. In this talk I will give an overview of Zero Point Motion’s approach to combining photonic integrated circuit (PIC) microresonators with MEMS. I outline how chipscale devices like LIDAR and optical transceivers approach the integration challenge, new developments in ASIC design to aid control, and how Zero Point Motion is adapting these methods for the inertial sensing market.

The story of how Wi-Fi came to be one of our most significant technologies is surprisingly dramatic. Coming out of the fierce techno/political battles at its birth, Wi-Fi exploded into tens of billions of devices around the globe, where today it supports over half of all internet traffic. This presentation will cover the backstory behind the Wi-Fi phenomenon and will look at what the future might bring.
