Realizing Pb/s IO with Silicon Photonic Chiplets

We outline recent efforts to realize Pb/s optical IO using heterogeneously integrated silicon photonics. Preliminary demonstrations ranging from device- to system-level validate our approach and present an appealing path towards achieving petabit-scale escape bandwidths.
