First 40Gbps Silicon Laser Modulator

Intel silicon photonics researchers achieve another breakthrough with the world’s first silicon laser modulator to encode optical data at 40 billion bits per-second. With a speed matching the fastest modulators deployed today, these low cost, low power devices could one day bring terabit/s optical I/O to PCs and servers.

Check out the blog for more information from Ansheng Liu, Principal Engineer in the Photonics Technology Lab and Lead Architect of the 40G Silicon Laser Modulator.
