Next-gen, PIC-based transceivers : design, test and validation

Aldo Gutierrez completed his B.Eng. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and his M.Sc. in Photonics with honors at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. He subsequently earned his PhD in Physics from the University of Rennes (France) in 2017, focusing on the design, development, and metrology of optical integrated sensors. His notable contributions have enabled active participation in approximately 25 international scientific conferences and collaborative involvement in over 15 peer-reviewed articles, both as an author and co-author.

Since 2017, he has been associated with EXFO. He initially joined the Manufacturing, Design, and Research Business Unit as a Product Specialist before moving into the role of Product Line Manager. In this capacity, he contributed to defining, launching, and supporting various activities related to tunable lasers, optical spectrum analyzers, tunable filters, BER testers, and optical oscilloscopes. Currently, he holds the position of Business Development Manager in the US, where he plays a pivotal role in shaping and implementing the company's strategic and tactical approaches in the Photonic Integrated Circuit and High-Speed Optical Communications segments.
