Abstract
Luxtera has demonstrated the technology required to implement CMOS photonics, and product development is underway. It has also demonstrated all the technology required for 10-Gbps operation, in addition to that required to scale to 100 Gbps and 1 Tbps. A single 10-Gbps channel today integrates tens of optical components into a single die alongside circuitry of modest gate count, 100,000 per transceiver. For the first time, high-speed optical communications directly between silicon die are possible at a price-performance point competitive with traditional electrical interconnectsKeywords
