High-Speed CMOS Photonics Interconnects
Lightwire's CMOS Photonics Technology
As copper and traditional optoelectronics interconnects run into power consumption, signal integrity and cost limitations at high speeds, the industry needs a different approach to high bandwidth interconnects.
The Opto-electronic Application Specific Integrated Subsystem or OASIS platform leverages the advantages of CMOS manufacturing - low power, high density, and low manufacturing cost, with the advantages of CMOS photonics - low power dissipation, compact size and scalability. Lightwire will use the 10GbE SPE+ form factor as an initial demonstration of the impact that its CMOS photonics technology and as proof of the viability and robustness of its advanced technology. Modules use much less power, provide outstanding performance and operate over a wider temperature range than competing copper or optoelectronic solutions. Lightwire's innovative CMOS photonics technology enables the company to deliver high bandwidth solutions with breakthrough power and performance.
Lightwire is the leader in CMOS photonics technology for the 10 Gbps interconnect market and its technology roadmap leads directly to 40 and 100 Gbps low-power interconnects.
