Optical Transceivers & Silicon Photonics Forum 2020

Yole Events

Shenzhen, China

Light communication is spreading everywhere!

The first Yole Développement and CIOE forum on Optical Transceivers and Silicon Photonics

Yole Développement is proud to collaborate with the China International Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) to organize an all-new Executive Forum on Optical Transceivers and Silicon Photonics. It will take place on September 9 afternoon, 2020 in Shenzhen, alongside the 22nd CIOE. This event will explore optical transceiver applications within the optical communication industry.

The optical transceiver is a unique device which significantly contributes to transporting data over a network, enabling the highest speeds. At first they were employed in long-haul applications, but now they play a big role in data center interconnections at all levels.

Ultra-high-definition video streaming demand and new “connected” devices such as augmented and virtual reality, the internet of things and cars are driving another wave of transceiver upgrades in metro networks as well as in data centers.

Will coronavirus have a significant impact on the plans of the industrial companies? Join us to discuss this and other issues!

Trends in Optical Transceivers and Silicon Photonics: Insights into the market, technology and industry - Online

Alexis Debray & Martin Vallo

Market & Technology Analysts at Yole Développement

The network traffic growth has been increasing at an enormous pace over the decades and across all segments of the network architectures, from the metro, 5G access to intra-DC networks. This growth has been driven by a newly emerging digital applications – IoTs (AR/VR, connected homes and cars) and services such as streaming UHD videos which need higher and higher data throughput. To enjoy the smooth playing UHD videos or being online when doing a sport or riding a car this requires higher data rates of optical modules. The goals of future optical transceivers are to reduce their size and thus decrease power consumption and increase data throughput. Progress in integration of optical component technologies led to dramatic reductions in complexity and cost of the modules. Silicon photonics is a key enabling technology for further development of optical interconnect solutions needed to address growing traffic. This technology will play an important role in 500m – 80km applications next years. Due to the high competitiveness the players have different strategies of components or modules manufacturing. Trends in players’ strategies, future technologies, roadmaps and market forecasts in optical transceivers industry will be discussed in detail. This is your chance to learn straight from analysts of Yole Développement like Alexis Debray and Martin Vallo. So save your spot today.

Silicon Photonics Teardown and Cost Review: Case Study on Intel CWDM Generation 100G transceivers - Online

Sylvain Hallereau

Senior Technology & Cost Analyst at System Plus Consulting

With the 100G Coarse Wavelengh Division Multiplexer (CWDM) and the 100G Single Mode 4-channel (PSM4) technologies, Intel offer the 2 main solutions for the photonic connectors. If the two photonic connectors have similar technologies like the InP laser bonded on the silicon photonic die, mack zenhder modulator. However, the CWDM integrate more complex structures. The transceiver comes with two separated lines and for each of them several dies. The transmitter silicon photonic die integrates four InP lasers, one for each wavelengths, in a different configuration than the PSM4. On the same die, a Mach-Zehnder modulator is added to modulate the signal, but the CWDM MZI is more complex. Light extraction is performed by the edge of the die and not by a mirror. Other components have been added to the system in order to focus or isolate the signal. Data is processed by using a four-channel 25G optical Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) component from MACOM. Based on pictures extracted from teardown and physical analysis of Intel 100G CWDM and PSM4 connector, the presentation will highlight the integration choices of Intel for the silicon photonic die, the TIA circuit, the Mach-Zehnder driver circuit, the MACOM circuit and the germanium photodiode.

Packaging Technologies and Applications of Silicon Photonics Products

Wenjun Chen

Vice President of Business Development at Broadex Technologies

Compared with traditional optical transceivers, Silicon Photonics requires the use of very different packaging technologies that include special fiber arrays, mux/demux devices and laser alignment and assembly. Consequently, packaging dictates to a large degree the performance, yield and cost of the final Silicon Photonics products. For the next five years, we believe that upgrade of optical networking in data center will be the most important market opportunities for Silicon Photonics products. Huge potential also exists in wireless applications. We will share our views on packaging technologies and discuss market trends for Siliocn Photonics products.

800G optical transceivers need a new breed of Integrated Photonics IC, a solution that combines the best of Silicon and InP photonics - Online

Yannick Paillard

Chief Commercial Officer

With the release of 25.6Tb/s switch ASIC, data center operators will need 800G optical transceivers, whether plugged in the front panel or onboard. Major industry players have been investigating multiple solutions to align with the fragmented data center architectures and use cases. Whichever the adopted scenario, a very compact, power-efficient, and a cost-competitive photonic solution will be required. SCINTIL’s technology enables a new level of integration, and we believe, will deliver the performance requirements needed for this new generation of optical modules. In the presentation, I will first give some background information on SCINTIL origin. I will continue with a description of our heterogeneous BackSide-on-BOX fabrication process. I will explain how we combine commercially available Silicon Photonics process and III-V/InP materials to develop a mass-producible, fully integrated Photonics IC. And I will conclude with the benefits our optical engines will offer for supporting the multiple 800G optical module configurations.

Recent Developments of Silicon Photonics

Dr. Tao Chu

Professor at Zhejiang University

Accompanying the rapid developments of the big-data society, novel technologies for constructing high-speed and low-power-consumption data processing and communication systems are highly demanded. Silicon photonic integration is widely regarded as one of the most promising ways in various applications, due to the low-cost and high-density-integration of silicon photonic devices. In this presentation, we will give a introduction on recent devolpments of silicon photonic devices designed for optical transceiver, including silicon based laser, modulators, wavelength MUX/DeMUX, Mode MUX/DeMUX, polarization controller, EO/TO switches, photodetectors and fiber couplers with their designs, fabrications and measurements. Besides, some novel optical applications, as well as the novel silicon photonic devices will be briftly introduced, includng the 5G wireless comunications, microwave photonics, silicon photonic neural networks, etc.
