NOEIC develops 1.6T Silicon Photonics Chips

NOEIC develops 1.6T Silicon Photonics Chips. It was the first in China to complete the joint development and functional verification of a 1.6Tb/s silicon-based optical receiver chip. They integrated 8 channels of high-speed electro-optical modulators and high-speed photodetectors on a single silicon-based light-emitting chip and silicon-based light-receiving chip, respectively. Each channel can realize the photoelectric and electro-optical conversion of 200Gb/s PAM4 high-speed signals. Finally, through the chip packaging and system transmission test, the verification of the optical interconnection technology with a single chip capacity of up to 8 × 200Gb/s has been completed. That provides reliable optical chip solutions for broadband interconnects in next-generation data centers.
