]]>Abstract: The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) has placed unprecedented demands on datacenter interconnects. Deployments of 1.6 Tb/s transceivers at 200 Gb/s per lane are slated to occur later this year in 2026. Current solutions for these transceivers are primarily based on silicon photonics and indium phosphide, but both these standalone materials are approaching fundamental bandwidth limits that limit scaling to higher bit rates.
In this talk, we'll discuss advancements in high-performance electro-optic polymers, particularly Perkinamine® as a transformative polymer material system. By incorporating Perkinamine® on a silicon photonics platform, we demonstrate modulators capable of sub-1V drive voltages, bandwidths exceeding 100 GHz and CMOS-compatibility, thus enabling seamless integration into standard semiconductor foundry processes. We'll also discuss the results on thermal stability and long-term reliability, which are essential for commercialization.
