“…S7) demonstrated in this work. For example, different types of chip-scale lasers and frequency comb sources such as mode-locked quantum dot lasers 5 , electro-optical frequency combs 34,59 , and vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) 60 can be used. Co-design of the laser source, optical link architecture, photonic devices and signal processing will facilitate the next generation of optical interconnects in data-centre networks and hardware accelerators.…”

The use of optical interconnects has burgeoned as a promising technology that can address the limits of data transfer for future high-performance silicon chips. Recent pushes to enhance optical communication have focused on developing wavelength-division multiplexing technology, and new dimensions of data transfer will be paramount to fulfill the ever-growing need for speed. Here we demonstrate an integrated multi-dimensional communication scheme that combines wavelength- and mode- multiplexing on a silicon photonic circuit. Using foundry-compatible photonic inverse design and spectrally flattened microcombs, we demonstrate a 1.12-Tb/s natively error-free data transmission throughout a silicon nanophotonic waveguide. Furthermore, we implement inverse-designed surface-normal couplers to enable multimode optical transmission between separate silicon chips throughout a multimode-matched fibre. All the inverse-designed devices comply with the process design rules for standard silicon photonic foundries. Our approach is inherently scalable to a multiplicative enhancement over the state of the art silicon photonic transmitters.

“…For an MDM transceiver, simple and scalable mode multiplexing/demultiplexing (MUX/DeMUX) can be key technologies. Multi-plane light conversion (MPLC) is a scalable mode-MUX/DeMUX method [14]- [16]; however, their structures are unsuitable to achieve a compact MDM transceiver [24]. We have proposed using an angularly-multiplexed volume hologram (VH) as a mode-MUX/DeMUX method for MDM transmission [25], [26].…”

We propose a novel mode-multiplexed light source using angularly-multiplexed volume holograms. Mode division multiplexing beams can be generated from a simple transmitter that is made of a laser array, single lens, and volume holograms. Hologram media has low recording sensitivity; hence, using holograms in the communication band is difficult. However, a dual wavelength method that uses different wavelengths for recording and reading holograms can realize the volume holograms for the infrared region. The volume holograms for three spatial mode multiplexing are formed using a compact Michelson interferometer type recording setup; simultaneous generations of three modes were demonstrated using a fiber array or vertical cavity surface emitting laser array with the volume holograms. A low loss coupling of three modes to few-mode-fiber can be achieved through the precise design and recording of volume holograms. The simple and low-cost mode-multiplexed light source using the volume holograms has the potential to broaden the application of MDM.

“…In this paper, we present a MDM-Tx prototype to equip CPO with MMF/FMF interface for high spatial density optical interconnect, extended from our previous ECOC paper [17]. Ten single-mode C-band VCSELs and three 4-channel BiCMOS drivers are flip-chip bonded on a silicon interposer and assembled with a fan-out high-speed printed circuits board (PCB).…”
