Abstract

The development and application of silicon photonics technology to terabit optical transmission are expected in the future. Silicon photonics technology is recognized as the only technology focusing on increasing the bandwidth of data center switches. High-density integration-based small optical subassemblies, optical engines, and optical transceivers are converged with the silicon photonics technology to accelerate a revolution in optical interfaces.
