Samtec AIMs for Advances in Silicon Photonics
Data rates continue to increase unfettered. While the ubiquitous demand for more bandwidth seems to have no end, silicon as a semiconductor has practical limitations in the data rates it can support. One possible solution for this challenge is silicon photonics. The technology uses silicon as a laser for data transmission between ICs, but leverages the existing semiconductor fab techniques for mass production. What is Silicon Photonics? Silicon photonics as a … [Read more...]
