Paradigm Shift in IO Technology for Energy Efficient Links

The exponential growth in data center traffic is driving an increase in demand for cost and
energy efficient interface bandwidth scaling. This creates a need for a paradigm shift in I/O technology that meets future connectivity requirements within data centers. Silicon Photonics (SiPh) based optical interfaces significantly improve I/O density by optimizing solutions along three vectors independently: Packaging density, speed per lane, and number of wavelengths per channel. 

SiPh platforms efficiently leverage the high speed interface ecosystem that is evolving towards
silicon and hybrid chiplet platform integration 

This talk discusses SiPh based optical I/O solution that merges mature silicon chiplet packaging and fiber connectivity to achieve the highest I/O efficiency for networking applications
with highest density, lowest power and cost.
