Low-loss photonic wire bond interconnects enabling 5 Tbit/s data transmission

Photonic wire bonding enables flexible single-mode chip-to-chip interconnects with average losses of only 2.5 dB over a spectral range from 1270 nm to 1580 nm. Flawless transmission is demonstrated for a 5.25 Tbit/s data stream.
