Scaling Optical Interconnects in Datacenter Networks Opportunities and Challenges for WDM

We review the growing need for optical interconnect bandwidth in data center networks, and the opportunities and challenges for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) to sustain the “last 2km” bandwidth growth inside data center networks.
