Members of a European consortium developing silicon photonics technology say they have demonstrated a fully packaged transceiver module with a data transfer rate of 100 Gb/s.
Led by CEA-Leti in France, the COSMICC (CmOs Solutions for Mid-board Integrated transceivers with breakthrough Connectivity at ultra-low Cost) project team believes that the new optical hardware will meet the communications industry’s demands for high-speed data modules – at a cost they say cannot be achieved with conventional approaches.
