The New Era in Si Photonics
AI has been extending its influence in nearly every aspect of our daily endeavors; but, the power consumption seems to be the accompanied pain as the industry continue to push for ever- increasing computing power.
Over the years, among other things, Si Photonics has been heralded as a breakthrough in power saving.
However, so far, it appears to lack large volume production for >100G optical solution.
The debut of the 200G CPO with MRM is the watershed for the new era in Si photonics.
This presentation will address the driving force of the new era along with the illustration of critical aspects in Si photonics device manufacturing, followed by the introduction of technology platforms that are intended to power the AI acceleration.
