Check out this silicon photonics article in EDN – “Silicon photonics: Will the hare finally catch the tortoise?” — by Ransom Stephens. He asks Sylvie Menezo (Director of France’s IRT Nanoelectronics Silicon Photonics Program) at what data rate do you think engineers will have to focus on designs that use photons to push data? I think it’s a great discussion and article.
FYI …
