Joris Van Campenhout
Joris Van Campenhout is Director of the Optical I/O industry-affiliation R&D program at imec, which targets the development of a scalable and industrially viable short-reach optical interconnect technology based on silicon photonics. Prior to joining imec in 2010, he was a post-doctoral researcher at IBM’s TJ Watson Research Center (USA). He obtained a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Ghent University (Belgium) in 2007, for his work on hybrid integration of electrically driven III-V microdisk lasers on silicon photonic waveguide circuits. Joris holds 7 patents and has authored or co-authored over 100 papers in the field of silicon integrated photonics.

Silicon photonic interposers for 400Gb/s and beyond optical interconnects
Imec has teamed up with two imec research groups at Ghent University to build the next-generation 400Gb/s optical links for data center applications. The teams used imec’s Si photonics platform, and implemented modulation formats such as NRZ, and the more advanced EDB and PAM-4 formats to span larger distances and be compliant with industry standards.
