Luxtera introduces the light transceiver that can integrate the computer mother board

News on November 12 of 2009, Luxtera Yesterday is released one and mount onto the single chip on the computer mother board directly smooth Transceiver ,And it declare this scheme can last every one passway 10Gpbs the costs of devices every /under Gits.

Luxtera represents this Transceiver It is the OptoPHY series products of its company, it integrates electronic element and optical component on a CMOS form chip. And show it will be meaning photon technology takes an important great step again in evolution that this new light transceiver produces collinear appearance, it sets aside the module solution of traditional hot-plug to change into the chip scheme in year of the board, it accords with the photoelectric system level chip integration technology of the demand in the future to make and produce.

The senior vice-president Brad Smith of LightCounting represents, 10 Gbit/s is a mainstream of the systematic interconnection field, and Off-The-Shelf high speed communication system at present, such as the switchboard / router, the supercomputer, telecommunication equipment, data communication and server adopt 2.5G/5G SNAP12 technology that developed in 1998. Usually made up of the transceivers of 4 2.5Ws, probably 400 dollars of value for each one among them, the power consumption 10W of 1600 dollars, and die in very large fabric board space altogehter. The market needs to look for the new solution at this moment, for example occupied from before the space connected the scheme to convert to the present mere integrated chip scheme greatly.

It is reported OptoPHY series products that Luxtera put out have only 1 passway and 4 passway product at present, it is estimated that will put out 12 passways of products next year, Luxtera respect shows the scheme that this serial transceivers of theirs will be adopted can make every Gbit/s power consumption reduce to 20nW.

Luxtera Company represents, the mere integrated chip technological scheme of the OptoPHY series transceiver products, it is the ideal solutions of corporate network, Ethernet, still support the application function of the bottom panel at the same time, can well overcome the difficult problem of VCSEL100 rice range of the traditional multimode optical fiber scheme.

Luxtera introduces the light transceiver that can integrate the computer mother board

The news on November 13, Luxtera11 released on day one can mount onto the single chip light transceiver on the computer mother board directly, it and declare by scheme and can last every one passway 10Gpbs the costs of devices every /under Gits.

Luxtera shows this transceiver is the OptoPHY series products of its company, it integrates electronic element and optical component on a CMOS form chip. And show it will be meaning photon technology takes an important great step again in evolution that this new light transceiver produces collinear appearance, it sets aside the module solution of traditional hot-plug to change into the chip scheme in year of the board, it accords with the photoelectric system level chip integration technology of the demand in the future to make and produce.

Luxtera cooperates with Sun Microsystems Promote the development of silicon photon technology

Luxtera Company that specially develops silicone base CMOS photon products claims to sign a value and several million American round contracts with Sun Microsystems today, come together to promote the advanced plan of American Ministry of National Defence to study the administration (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA) On-chip communication (UNIC) of nanometer photon of ultra characteristic made Research project. Technology and silicon manufacture process of Luxtera use quilt for developing the optical interconnect technology of the future generation, supporting chip is interconnected to the chip or on-chip to come. It is reported, the design original intention of UNIC research project is to offer the low-cost, advanced, high-performance computer system for computer industry.

Luxtera shows this company the first succeeds in integrating a plurality of photon components and silicon electronic elements to the company on a one piece CMOS chip directly. The spokesmans of this company show silicon CMOS photon I/O technology will offer an effective way for constitute light transceiver, this will increase efficiency and reliability. To this research project, Luxtera will offer strategy for Sun Microsystems to guide, basic photoelectric circuit, tool and device are designed and support. Finally, DARPA will produce the baby light emitter / receiver. (Compile: Yu ZhanTao)

Luxtera releases the first CMOS photoelectric integrated chip

Yesterday, the technical leading supplier Luxtera of CMOS photon introduces the first of industry and adopts standard CMOS technological single chip integrated photoelectric device today. Breakthrough technology of Luxtera optical chip and together electronic technology intergration of mainstream, realize the directly matching of optic fibre and electronic chip, adopt the canonial 0.13umSOICMOS craft, and then can also realize the integration of chip and mere chip of digital logic, reduce the size of the optical device greatly, power consumption and cost. Luxtera shows they have already provided sample test for some strategy cooperative partners at present, present technology integrates laser and probe on a slice of CMOS chip, and include a two serial of XFP module all required TIA, parts such as CDR, MZ modulator,etc.. The volume of the whole chip is only 1/4 of XFP module at present. Luxtera will put out the products sold formally at the beginning of of 2007 if Luxtera represents them.

A key element of our technology is that we enable fabrication of optical and electronic circuits on a common mainstream CMOS chip. This capability is the key enabler of next-generation, optically interconnected multi-core processors and computing systems. We are the only company that achieved this capability in high volume production environments as demonstrated by our first commercial product, Blazar - 40 Gigabit Optical Active Cable. We are excited that Sun Microsystems is partnering with Luxtera to utilize our technology and processes for the DARPA UNIC program, and are confident that both parties will be extremely impressed with our capabilities.
