Optical Interconnects
As computer processors, servers, and data centers continue to evolve, so do the optical clocking and interconnect requirements for these applications.
The PLC platform developed by Enablence allows for optical sources and detectors to be integrated with on-chip waveguides for distribution of optical signals. This can enable optical clocking for high-speed processors, and high-bandwidth interconnects for chip-to-chip or board-to-board communications. In addition to photonics working inside computers, there are increasing demands for high-speed optical interconnects between computers. These requirements range from low-cost active optical cables, and even optical HDMI cables, to advanced components used in 40G and 100G parallel data links.
Enablence optical waveguide-based components operate completely independent of the underlying data rate. Even active components like high-speed photodetectors operating as high as 25 and 40 Gb/s are manufactured in-house at Enablence. This high degree of vertical integration within the company means that Enablence can address your most demanding applications at the lowest possible cost.
