Intel's Silicon Photonics for Data Center Interconnects

Abstract:

With the explosive increase in data center traffic, there is a need for high speed connectivity between servers and switches. Silicon photonics integrated circuits have been successfully deployed in data center applications during the past few years. They provide the advantage of photonic technologies together with silicon manufacturing and wafer level test capability, resulting in scalability and cost efficiency. In this talk, we will present Intel's progress in silicon photonics from 100G towards higher speed, channel count, and density for future optical interconnects.

Bio:

Dr. Daniel Zhu is a Director of R&D in Intel’s Silicon Photonics Product Division. He joined Intel in 2014 and led a cross-functional team to design and develop 100G PSM4 QSFP28 transceiver, successfully brought Intel's first-ever silicon photonic product to the market for tier-one data center customers. He also managed the development and production launch of industry’s first-ever silicon photonic 100G CWDM4 chip and 400G DR4 chip with heterogeneously integrated DFB lasers, developed 1.6 Tb/s silicon photonic engine which enabled world's first optical I/O integration with 12.8 Tb/s Ethernet switch. Prior to Intel, Daniel had held several senior leadership positions at Sumitomo, Zephyr Photonics and Emcore, managed the design, development, and high volume production of many 10~120G optical transceiver modules and active optical cables. Daniel received his BS and MS degrees in Physics from Zhongshan University, China, and his Ph.D. degree in EE from the University of Southern California.
