Silicon Photonics is a combination of two of the most important inventions of the 20th century—the silicon integrated circuit and the semiconductor laser. It enables faster data transfer over longer distances compared to traditional electronics, while utilizing the efficiencies of Intel’s high-volume silicon manufacturing.
Intel has always been at the forefront of this exciting new technology, announcing the world’s first hybrid silicon laser nearly a decade ago. But what truly makes our role in silicon photonics unique is not only our efficient, high-volume silicon manufacturing, but our dedication to furthering research in this field. Investing in silicon photonics enables future data center bandwidth to grow, driving evolution of form factors, speed (100G today, 400G tomorrow), and optical integration platforms.
This new technology reduces total cost of ownership and improves the performance of data center architectures by removing networking bottlenecks that can result in stranded compute capacity. Silicon Photonics helps by:
Intel® Silicon Photonics optical transceivers are shipping in volume now, enabling data centers to cost-effectively deploy 100 Gigabit per second solutions via:
Features up to 2km reach on parallel single-mode fiber, and is designed to be compliant with 100G PSM4 MSA, QSFP28, and CAUI-4 specifications.
Features up to 2km reach on duplex single-mode fiber, with high speed and low-power consumption. Designed to be compliant with 100G CWDM4 and CLR4 MSA, QSFP28, and CAUI-4 specifications.3
This presentation delivered by Intel at the 2016 Optical Networking and Communication Conference highlights the role of Intel® Silicon Photonics in the data center of the future, and the role of the Consortium for On-Board Optics in moving from 100G to integrated optics.
This third-party analyst report by 451 Research discusses the importance of silicon photonics technology, including Intel® Silicon Photonics, and its potential impact on networking and rack scale design, as well as the evolution of the data center with light.
In this CEO Chat interview, Steve Saunders of Light Reading and Alexis Black Bjorlin of Intel discuss the production release of Intel® Silicon Photonics, its performance, long-term prospects, customer expectations and much more.
Intel Chip Chat strives to bring listeners closer to the innovations and inspirations of the men and women shaping the future of computing, and in process share a little bit about technology themselves.
As we enter the third wave of compute, there’s a huge demand for data centers to be able to handle more traffic. Listen to Robert Blum discuss how Intel’s Silicon Photonics provide an impressive solution at the 2016 ECOC Exhibition.
Intel can help your organization prepare for the coming move from proprietary network frameworks to cloud-ready, open standards-based architectures.
