First 40Gbps Silicon Laser Modulator

Intel silicon photonics researchers achieve another breakthrough with the world’s first silicon laser modulator to encode optical data at 40 billion bits per-second. With a speed matching the fastest modulators deployed today, these low cost, low power devices could one day bring terabit/s optical I/O to PCs and servers.
