Description
Demand for data communication in cloud data-centres is projected to continue to grow exponentially in the next few years.
In this presentation, we will discuss the opportunity and challenges related to silicon photonics technology as a short-reach optical interconnect platform. First, we will discuss the scaling trends and industry platform. Next, we will take a deep dive into the silicon photonics roadmap, covering both passive and high-speed active optical devices. We will describe how these building blocks can be combined to implement low-power Terabit-scale optical transceivers. Finally, we will present other opportunities for silicon photonics outside datacom.
