Optical Transceivers & Silicon Photonics Forum 2021

Yole Events

Shenzhen, China

The trends driving optical transceiver technology

Yole Développement is proud to collaborate with the China International Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) to organize the highly attractive Forum on Optical Transceivers and Silicon Photonics. It will take place in Shenzhen, alongside the 23rd CIOE. Due to COVID-19 preventives measures in China, the CIOE will be postponed and with it the Optical Transceivers & Silicon Photonics Forum, meaning it will finally take place on 17th of September.

This event will explore recent trends in optical module technology and applications for datacom and telecom.

Network traffic is forecast to grow exponentially in coming years. This trend affects all segments of network infrastructure in datacenters as well as in long-haul applications.
The growth has been driven by newly emerging digital applications. These include the Internet of Things (IoT), including Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR), connected homes and cars and services such as streaming Ultra High Definition videos that need higher data throughput.
The evolution of these technologies has enabled transmission speed of 400G and beyond in long haul and metro networks. As 400G has ramped-up to mass deployment the question is: What will come beyond 400G?
The general goal for future form factors is to reduce their size and thus decrease power consumption and increase density. Trends in players’ strategies, future technologies, roadmaps and market forecasts in optical transceivers industry will be presented at this event.
Stick around and stay tuned!

Trends in Optical Transceivers and Silicon Photonics

Alexis Debray & Martin Vallo

Market & Technology Analysts at Yole Développement

Network traffic growth has been increasing exponentially over recent decades. The growth has been driven by newly emerging digital applications including the IoTs, AR/VR, connected homes and cars. Also, services such as streaming UHD videos need higher data throughput with the image quality increase. Meeting all technical requirements requires higher performance optical modules. The evolution of multiple technologies has enabled transmission speed of 400G and beyond in long haul and metro networks. The goal for future form factors is to reduce their size and thus decrease power consumption and increase density. Progress in integration of optical component technologies led to dramatic reductions in complexity and cost of the modules. The industry is developing different approaches for heterogeneous integration of InP lasers directly onto silicon chips. While InP material platform dominates in intermediate and long reach, silicon photonics might be a key enabling technology for certain data center applications needed to address growing traffic at lower cost. Silicon photonics has become an important technology for optical communication. Since the release by Luxtera (now Cisco) of the first optical transceiver using silicon photonics in 2008, the silicon photonics optical transceiver market has grown to $581M, with almost 5M units shipped. Silicon photonics is now serving new applications including immunoassays and fiber optic gyroscopes. New applications are on the way including LiDAR, photonic computing, disaggregated datacenters, and, last but not least, the collaboration of Apple with Rockley Photonics for consumer health.

InP Maser status and challenge for High-Speed Optical Communication

Liangbo Wang

Senior Technical Marketing Director at Yuanjie Semiconductor Technology, Co., Ltd.

Due to the large-scale deployment of 5G wireless fronthaul and the evolution of data center from 100G to 400G, InP EEL laser has faced tremendous challenges no matter in silicon photonics solutions or in traditional free space solutions. For 5G wireless application, CWDM6 has gradually become the mainstream in fronthaul application, yet 1350nm/1370nm DFB laser has not been widely used up to now, how to solve its dispersion problem with lost cost production, and how to effectively solve the technical bottleneck of industrial temperature 50G PAM4 DML for the subsequent fronthaul upgrade. Besides, data center 400G is also facing the technological evaluation. How to significantly improve EML yield, to meet the requirements of non-hermetic packaging and to achieve TEC-less COB package. For silicon photonics application, continuous improvement of CW laser power is an urgent technical point for 400G DR4 and next generation CPO; In this situation, what kind of new design and technology to effectively meet the demand is the focus of the market.

10:10 am - 10:35 am

How Silicon Photonics enables the Terabit Transceivers for Next Generation Datacenter Interconnects

Sven Otte

CEO of Sicoya

The introduction of 100G per lambda optics is ongoing and the industry is yet again entering into another iteration of debating about how to define next generation interconnects. A number of different approaches have been proposed such as co-packaging optics with switch ASICS and defining new pluggable modules that can support up to 1.6T utilizing 200G per lambda. In this presentation we are going to review the individual options and assess them in terms of performance, cost of ownership and maturity of the ecosystem. We will highlight how Silicon Photonics is going to play an important role in all those solutions and provide an update of the most recent technology developments in this field.

100G and 400G Optical Transceivers Benchmark: Structure & Cost Comparison of Silicon Photonics versus InP Dies Solution for CWDM4 and PSM4 Transceivers

Sylvain Hallereau

Principal Technology & Cost Analyst at System Plus Consulting

The presentation will highlight a benchmark of 100G and 400G optical transceivers, PSM4 and CWDM, with InP versus Silicon photonic technology. Based on pictures extracted from teardown and physical analysis of six 100G and 400G optical transceivers from Finisar/II-VI, Cisco, Intel and Innolight, we will compare the different technical solutions of the manufacturers. Spatial multiplexer, discrete silicon multiplexer or integration on silicon photonic die for the TOSA multiplexer will be compared. InP laser with and without EAM will also be compared with the silicon photonic solution. The reception part of the six optical transceivers will be also showed, as well as the main ICs to understand the impact of the 400G versus 100G and the supply chain of the different manufacturers.

11:40 am - 12:05 pm

Exploration of main technical issues of silicon-based optical modules

Eric Chen

Vice President at Shenzhen Gigalight Technology

At the critical moment when the entire optical transmission industry is moving towards silicon-based optical technology, all participants are faced with numerous technical difficulties and challenges. As early as 2016, Gigalight had studied silicon-based 100G PSM4 and DML-based 100G PSM4 optical modules, but the conclusion was below expectation. Currently, our goal is to simultaneously study EML-based 400G QSFP DD DR4 optical modules and silicon-based 400G QSFP DD DR4 optical modules to obtain more valuable objective research results and apply them to our product development & design goal - get the balance of all parameters. As the transmission of 400G QSFP DD DR4 is not ideal, we sincerely look forward to the full development of silicon-based optical modules under the next 112G per lane industry protocol.

The challenges and Solutions of volume manufacturing in Optical Transceiver & Silicon Photonics

Limin Zhou, Ph.D.

Senior Director of Strategic Marketing, MRSI Systems - Mycronic Group

Optical Transceivers have played a crucial role in the 5G & Data Center system. 5G deployment and more data center setup, driving the continued increase in optical transceivers demand. The technology innovations allow the optical transceivers to have higher bandwidth, smaller package size and much lower power consumption. The high performance optical transceivers have faster life cycles, and the customers need high volume for fast delivery. The high density high performance products need higher accuracy assembly. However the optical transceiver cost is much more sensitive than before. Optical transceivers become the biggest driver for silicon photonics technology application. These fast pace innovation and technology changes bring huge challenges to the assembly manufacturing for high performance optical transceiver suppliers, who need the innovative solutions from the assembling process engineers and equipment vendors to address these challenges. In this talk, I plan to discuss the key assembling challenges and the innovative solutions to address these challenges for Optical transceivers and Silicon Photonics.
