Towards Energy-Efficient Photonic Interconnects
Silicon photonics have emerged as a promising solution to meet the growing demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency, and energy-efficient on-chip and off-chip communication in many-core processors. However, current silicon-photonic interconnect designs for many-core processors waste a significant amount of power because (a) lasers are always on, even during periods of interconnect inactivity, and...
متن کاملOptical Interconnects Using Injection-Locked VCSELs
Injection-Locked Vertical Cavity Lasers exhibit drastically enhanced performance. The 3-dB bandwidth can be increased up to 40 GHz, due to a resonance frequency enhancement. Such VCSELs may play a role in future optical interconnects. c © 2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (140.3520) Injection-locked lasers; (250.7260) Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers
متن کاملHigh-efficiency, high-speed VCSELs for optical interconnects
High-efficiency, high-speed, tapered-oxide-apertured vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) emitting at 980 nm have been demonstrated. By carefully engineering the tapered oxide aperture, the mode volume can be greatly reduced without adding much optical scattering loss for the device sizes of interest. Consequently, these devices can achieve higher bandwidth at lower current and powe...
متن کاملSilicon photonics for compact, energy-efficient interconnects [Invited]
The goal of the research program that we describe is to break the emerging performance wall in microprocessor development arising from limited bandwidth and density of on-chip interconnects and chip-to-chip (processor-tomemory) electrical interfaces. Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor compatible photonic devices provide an infrastructure for deployment of a range of integrated photonic net...
متن کاملSC-FDE for MMF short reach optical interconnects using directly modulated 850 nm VCSELs.
We propose the use of single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE) for the compensation of modal dispersion in short distance optical links using multimode fibers and 850 nm VCSELs. By post-processing of experimental data, we demonstrate, at 7.9% overhead, the error-free transmission (over a 4 Mbit sequence) of OOK-modulated 5 Gbps over 2443 meters of OM3 fiber (with a nominal 3300 MHz...
