Nicslab on OFC 2026 : From Lab Precision to Scalable Systems

Nicslab will take part in OFC. And if the conference continues, so will we.

OFC 2026 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, West Hall, marks our third presence at the world’s most influential gathering in optical networking. Each year we return with a clearer perspective, stronger systems, and a deeper understanding of what the industry truly needs. This year, at Booth #4565, we will present MiniATE, XSOM, and XDAC not as isolated products, but as a structured answer to a growing demand for scalable, usable photonic infrastructure.

Why We Keep Coming Back

OFC is not just an exhibition hall for equipment and vendors. It stands at the intersection of rigorous technical exchange and real-world networking demands. Alongside the exhibition, the conference presents peer-reviewed research, invited talks from global leaders, and focused sessions on topics such as AI-optimized optical networking, energy-efficient architectures, and advanced test methodologies.

We attend because this is where engineering decisions are tested against reality — where technologies that once lived only in prototypes meet the practical constraints of latency, energy consumption, and scalable deployment. Visitors scrutinize everything from next-gen coherent optics and co-packaged solutions to power-efficient module designs that address the bandwidth demands of modern networks.

These are exactly the problems Nicslab builds for: integration with real workflows, reliable performance that engineers can depend on, and systems that support the transition from concept to field-ready infrastructure.

Where Photonics Becomes Practical

At Booth #4565 you will see three tools that remove common barriers to photonic development. XDAC is a multichannel bias and source controller that centralizes electrical control and monitoring for many optical channels. XSOM packages bias, thermal control, and sensing into a compact module for easy integration into larger systems. MiniATE is an automated mixed-signal test environment that unifies stimulus and measurement to shorten test cycles and boost repeatability. Visit our demos to see how these platforms speed the path from prototype to production.

A Long-Term Commitment

Our participation in OFC is not a milestone we celebrate for visibility. It is a signal of commitment.

If OFC continues to shape the future of optical networking, Nicslab intends to remain part of that journey. We believe meaningful innovation requires continuity, dialogue, and long-term presence.

We are launching product updates at OFC 2026 with a clear intention: to meet engineers and companies building systems that are meant to scale and endure.

If that is your direction, we look forward to welcoming you in Los Angeles.
