Fully validated design accelerates customer time to market for 800G pluggable transceivers in hyperscale Data centers
Shanghai, March.21, 2024 – SiLUX Technologies Inc. (“SiLUX”), the designer and developer of silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) and optical engines for the data center and telecommunication markets, today announced that it will conduct a live demonstration of its 800G optical engine in collaboration with its partner, CIG SHANGHAI CO., LTD.(“CIG”), featuring both QSFP-DD800 and OSFP800 form factors. The live demonstration will take place at Booth #2213 during the upcoming OFC’24 Conference in San Diego, CA from March 26th to 28th, 2024.
The 800G optical transceiver modules demoed by CIG are integrated with SiLUX’s novel high performance silicon photonics (SiPho) optical engine, which incorporates SilUX’s Silicon Photonic Modulator PIC with a small size of 5.5mmx5.5mm and two continuous wave (CW) lasers that each supports four lanes. The 800G Sipho Modulator PIC monolithically integrates multiple modulators, splitters, waveguides and coupling structures, enabling high-speed modulation of light operating at 100Gb/s PAM4 signaling for data transmission.
“We are delighted to collaborate with SiLUX for this critical live demonstration, which represents a key milestone for both companies,” said Mr. Fengyong Han, Vice President of Marketing and Sales of CIG. “Future 800G optical transceivers reply on silicon photonics to address the growing demand for high capacity and energy efficiency at a reduced cost. SiLUX’s up to date silicon PICs effectively cater to these requirements, empowering the customers to expedite time to market significantly.”
The demonstrated 800G DR8 Sipho transceivers exceed the optical interface specifications of IEEE P802.3df D2.0 for 800GBASE-DR8 significantly. The eye diagram is showed as below.
SiLUX is thriving to bring high reliability and compelling cost per bit solution to its customers worldwide. The fully integrated PICs designed by SiLUX will result in lower cost and the ability to rapidly scale production. With these advantages, SiPho technologies from SiLUX will be a very competitive choice for 800G application and the potential in 1.6T and beyond. They will continuously catch the attention of leading systems companies and hyperscale data centers all over the world together with its customers.
