Technology Description:

To further the development of energy efficient integrated photonic networking technologies for datacenters and high performance computing, Ultra-low Loss Technologies (ULL) proposes to revolutionize chip-to-chip interconnects with massively parallel photonic channels based on photonic integrated circuit technology and spatial division multiplexing (SDM). This technology achieves between 10-1000X reduction in loss compared to competing technologies, which translates directly into lower power consumption.
