High Wavelength Count Laser Sources for WDM CMOS Optical Interconnects

Abstract

We demonstrate a CW-WDM MSA compliant multi-wavelength source driving an error-free WDM CMOS optical link. The SuperNova™ operates up to 100°C and outputs 64 optical carriers (8 wavelengths x 8 fibers), and together with the TeraPHY™ chiplet, drives up to 2 Tbps from a CMOS die.
