IRT Nanoelec Project Integrates Laser Directly on Silicon with a Modulator

March 18, 2016

GRENOBLE, France – March 18, 2016 – IRT Nanoelec, an R&D consortium focused on information and communication technologies (ICT) using micro- and nanoelectronics, today announced the first co-integration of a III-V/silicon laser and silicon Mach Zehnder modulator demonstrating 25 Gbps transmission on a single channel. This transmission rate usually is achieved using an external source, over a 10 km single-mode fiber.

Current interconnect technologies, which use micro-optics integration to assemble a discrete laser and a silicon photonic circuit, will soon reach their limits and new, different solutions will have to be found to handle increasing traffic.
