SPEED Project Establishes Value Chain for Development of Electro-Photonic Integrated Circuits in Germany
ADVA Optical Networking today announced that it is leading the Silicon Photonics Enabling Exascale Data Networks (SPEED) project. The project creates a platform for development, manufacturing and packaging of application-specific electro-photonic integrated circuits (ePICs) in silicon. ePICs combine electronic and optical functions on a single semiconductor chip, delivering better performance, smaller footprint and lower cost than competing solutions. Target applications are board-mounted optical transceivers for ultra-high-speed data center interconnects. ADVA Optical Networking is coordinating the project and also playing a key role in the transceiver development and design.
