title: First demonstration of high density optical interconnects integrated with lasers, optical modulators, and photodetectors on single silicon substrate.
abstract: Engineers are currently facing some technical issues in support of the exponential performance growths in information industries. One of the most serious issues is a bottleneck of inter-chip interconnects. We propose a new "Photonics-Electronics Convergence System" concept. High density optical interconnects integrated with a 13-channel arrayed laser diode, silicon optical modulators, germanium photodetectors, and silicon optical waveguides on single silicon substrate were demonstrated for the first time using this system. A 5-Gbps error free data transmission and a 3.5-Tbps/cm(2) transmission density were achieved. We believe that this technology will solve the bandwidth bottleneck problem among LSI chips in the future.
