Abstract
Current discrete optical solutions for high data-rate link applications, even with potentially high manufacturing volumes, are too costly. Highly integrated, multifunction modules are a key part of the solution, reducing size and cost while providing improved reliability. Silicon, with its proven manufacturability and reliability, offers a solid foundation for building a cost-efficient path to successful products. In this paper, recent work on the development of silicon photonic enabling components for multichannel high data-rate links is presented.Keywords
