French Low-Power Optical Module Silicon Photonics
The PIC100 silicon photonics (SiPHo) process on 300mm wafers at Crolles in France can integrate multiple complex components into a single chip, while ST's next generation proprietary BiCMOS technology brings ultra high-speed and low power processing alongside. STMicroelectronics has developed a silicon photonics technology for next generation 800Gb/s and 1. Using its SHIP™ (Scintil Heterogeneous Integrated Photonics) technology, Scintil developed LEAF Light™, the world's first single-chip, DWDM-native laser source for high-density and low power optical connectivity in scale-up. Each new generation of optical modules is backwards-compatible with the previous-generation technology. Linear Receive Optics (LRO) and Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) are 2 key solutions that engineers building AI infrastructure are exploring to reduce the power from network equipment.
