The goal of this project is to characterize expected performance and design parameters of single frequency and multiwavelength sources. Project: Heterogeneously Integrated Quantum Dot Lasers on Silicon.ĭescription: The UCSB team will investigate issues with integrating indium arsenide (InAs) quantum dot lasers with conventional silicon photonics. John Bowers, University of California, Santa Barbara.The researchers participating in the Research Center include: Today’s announcement reflects Intel’s ongoing commitment to collaborate with academia in developing new and advanced technologies that improve and further computing as we know it. Intel understands that academia is at the heart of technological innovation and seeks to catalyze innovation in research at leading academic institutions worldwide.
The research vision is to explore a technology scaling path that satisfies energy efficiency and bandwidth performance requirements for the next decade and beyond. Further innovations are necessary on several fronts to extend optical performance while lowering power and cost.Ībout the Research Center: The Intel Research Center for Integrated Photonics for Data Center Interconnects brings together universities and world-renowned researchers to accelerate optical I/O technology innovation in performance scaling and integration. Light generation, amplification, detection, modulation, CMOS interface circuits and package integration are essential to achieve the required performance to replace electrical as the primary high-bandwidth off-package interface.Īdditionally, optical I/O has the potential to dramatically outperform electrical in the key performance metrics of reach, bandwidth density, power consumption and latency. Intel has recently demonstrated progress in critical technology building blocks for integrated photonics. This performance barrier can be overcome by integrating compute silicon and optical I/O, a key research center focus. As demand continues to increase, electrical I/O power-performance scaling is not keeping pace and will soon limit available power for compute operations. The industry is quickly approaching the practical limits of electrical I/O performance. Why It’s Important: The ever-increasing movement of data from server to server is taxing the capabilities of today’s network infrastructure.
