djvu The Photonics Matrix: The Photonics IP Core Classification Workbook

The Photonics IP Core Classification Workbook (The PhotonicsMatrix) provides a comprehensive listing of the photonic product classes used in the photonic integrated circuit (PIC) industry today. With over 1000 photonic intellectual property (IP) core classifications, the workbook has been designed for those that need to learn and know the language of the silicon photonics industry, like engineers, business development planners, intellectual property (IP) advisers, photonic IP core library developers, investors, and those in academia like students and professors.

Workbook Applications and Uses
The workbook can be used as a self-study guide: to quickly gain a working knowledge of PIC terminology, as a testing tool to determine one's terminology strengths and weaknesses, as a business and engineering checklist for strategic planning of photonic IP core libraries, and as a guide to evaluating the breadth and scope of a photonics vendor's intellectual property offerings. As such, the workbook comes complete with lists and tables that can be marked, notated and highlighted for use in business meetings or classroom study sessions.

A Must for Today's and Tomorrow's Libraries
As an addition to the corporate, university, public or your own personal library, the Photonic Matrix workbook has been designed to serve the information needs of today's and tomorrow's technology driven societies. Photonics (light based) technology is now emerging as the technology to supplant today's electronics technology and is anticipated to become the mainstay information technology medium for not just the coming decades but centuries to come.

A workbook that meets the needs of:

• Technology Companies for Photonics Business and Product Planning
• EDA Development Staff for Photonics IP Core and IP Core Library Development and Training
• Photonic System Designers for Evaluation of the Breadth and Scope of IP Core Vendor's Offerings
• Photonic Foundries for Process Specific Photonic IP Core and Library Development and Training
• Intellectual Property Consultants and Patent Attorneys for IP Evaluation and Litigation
• Technology Companies, Trade Schools and Universities for Photonics Training and Industry Terminology Assimilation
• Investor and Market Research Firms for Company Specific Technology Evaluation
• Photonics Business Developers for Short Term and Long Term Planning

PIPC Publication Submissions
The workbook is not only intended for photonic business and product planning, but also for vendor editorial submissions to the Photonic Intellectual Property Consortium’s (PIPC) publications and databases. This includes the PIPC’s LinkedIn posts and company profile reports as well as its databases and directories: The Silicon Photonic Vendor Directories, The Semiconductor & IP Core Directories, The Photonics Subject Matter Expert Database, the Semiconductor & IP Core Subject Matter Expert Database, and the StatisticsMatrix's web site.

The PhotonicsMatrix is the founding document of the PIPC. The goal of the PIPC is to establish a working and evolving standard for the classification of Photonic Intellectual Property (IP) cores used in the design of PICs. The purpose of the standard is to facilitate and expedite the education, implementation, design, marketing, manufacturing, and advanced technology development of next millennia photonic based systems. The consortium membership demographic is open to representatives from the technology, investment, intellectual property, patent, academic and the trade press community as well as government representatives and individuals.

PhotonicsMatrix Rewards Program
Those that purchase the Photonics Matrix are eligible for bonus points that can be applied to orders for the StatisticsMatrix's research, writing and graphic design services and PIPC membership fees.
