Silicon-photonics-based optical transceivers for high-speed interconnect applications

In this paper we discuss design and characterization of silicon-photonics-based 100 Gbps (4×26 Gbps) transceivers for parallel single mode fiber communication. We also address some key underlying technologies including silicon photonics wafer processing, photonic device libraries, light source integration and packaging technologies.
