High-performance systems are increasingly bottlenecked by the growing energy and
communications costs of interconnecting numerous compute and memory resources …

Integrated photonics is widely regarded as an important post-Moore's law research direction.
However, it suffers from intrinsic limitations, such as lack of control and satisfactory photonic …

Silicon-germanium (Si–Ge)-based avalanche photodiodes (APDs) have shown a significant
improvement in receiver sensitivity compared to their III–V counterparts due to the superior …

A detailed analysis of fundamental tradeoffs between ring radius and coupling gap size is
presented to draw realistic borders of the possible design space for microring resonators …

A 64-Gb/s high-sensitivity non-return to zero receiver (RX) data-path is demonstrated in the
14-nm-bulk FinFET CMOS technology. To achieve high sensitivity, the RX incorporates a …

The paper presents a comprehensive physical layer design and modeling platform for
silicon photonic interconnects. The platform is based on explicit closed-form expressions for …

Single-mode wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical links are an attractive
technology to meet the growing interconnect bandwidth demand in data center applications …

We demonstrate concurrent multi-channel transmission at 10 Gbps per channel of a DWDM
silicon photonic transmitter. The DWDM transmitter is based on a single quantum dot comb …

Silicon photonics provides a promising platform for energy-efficient interconnects within
supercomputers and data centers. However, develo** a complementary metal–oxide …

Large-scale high-performance computing (HPC) systems in the form of supercomputers and
warehouse-scale data centers permeate nearly every corner of modern life from applications …
