“…Last but not least, monolithic integration employing the so called "zero-change" photonics has recently accomplished some staggering achievements reporting on real workload execution over an opto-electronic die with optical core- Nevertheless, this technology has still a rather long-way to go until reaching the complexity and functionality level required by a many-core pNoC design. Line-rates advances from 2.5 Gb/s [109] to the more recent 10 Gb/s [112] are focused at the transceiver modules in simple point-to-point interconnection links, still missing the functional devices that can provide on-chip routing and networking functions.…”

“…T HE amount of data generated by 4G/5G applications, cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) is constantly fueling the need for faster and energy-efficient optical interconnections in Data Centers (DC) [1]. Silicon photonic transmitters (TX) relying on micro-ring (RM)-, Mach-Zehnder (MZM)-or electro-absorption (EAM)-modulator structures emerge as the key component to satisfy the evolving bandwidth and energy requirements as they can combine energy efficiency, small footprint and CMOS-compatibility [2], [3] with their side-to-side integration with CMOS electronics, eventually also in monolithic photonic-electronic TX platforms [4]. However, the majority of high-speed silicon photonic TX engines have mainly aimed at C-band (1530 nm-1565 nm) operation so far, although O-band (1260 nm-1360 nm) offers clear dispersion benefits and has turned into the mainstream well-established spectral regime in DC interconnect infrastructure.…”

“…Nevertheless, O-band has turned lately into the dominant spectral regime at all levels of DC hierarchy, spanning from on-board level where ultra-low loss polymer waveguide technology [12] can enable chip-to-chip (C2C) interconnects, up to rack-scale [13] and long-reach transmission, where significant benefits arise from the zero-dispersion properties of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) at 1300 nm [14]. Facing this reality, silicon photonic TX layouts have gradually started to migrate towards O-band operating modules, with recent demonstrations reporting single-channel RM TX devices with high line-rates of ≥60 Gb/s NRZ [15], [16] that can go beyond 100 Gb/s when employing advanced PAM4 modulation [15]- [17] and several RM-based WDM TX demonstrations having already been reported to reach up to 25 Gb/s line rate capabilities [4], [18], [19]. At the same time, O-band silicon photonic MZM-based WDM TXs have been introduced in 4-channel configurations, demonstrating enhanced line rate capabilities from 10 Gb/s [20] 0733-8724 © 2019 IEEE.…”

“…The on-going transition to 5G standards combined with the imminent proliferation of Internet of Thing (IoT) devices and the exponential growth of data center (DC) traffic [1] is calling for advances in optical transceiver technologies that eventually have to meet the diverse requirements extending from chip-to-chip and data center network interconnections [2] up to high-speed data transmission links in telecom applications. Silicon photonics (SiP) emerge as a promising transceiver technology across the complete chain of interconnect hierarchy, offering a number of important advantages: i) compatibility with existing CMOS processes and strong volume-manufacturing potential [3], ii) capability of co-integration with advanced microelectronics [4] and iii) low power consumption [3]- [5]. Among SiP devices, the micro-ring modulator (MRM) appears as a key component due to its ultra-low footprint, high-bandwidth [5] and inherent compatibility with wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems [6], [7].…”
