Intel unveils silicon photonics module for data-center use

posted on Aug 17, 2016 03:16PM

The chip fuses optical components with electronics and is capable of providing 100 gigabits per second over a distance of two kilometers.

Microsoft is adopting the technology in its Azure data centers.

"Electrons running over network cables won’t cut it. Intel has been working on silicon photonics over 16 years. We are the first to light up silicon.” She further stated: "We see a future where silicon photonics optical input-output is everywhere in the data center."
