love this excerpt of Yu from GF > “Everyone could see that bandwidth was about to explode, particularly as data centers became more hyperscale,” said Yu. “We thought the current technology to supply that—indium phosphide—would not be able to scale up.”

Data movement is also power-hungry. As data centers move to higher bandwidths, they are expending more power to move data through copper cables, and as a result, modern data centers run exceptionally hot. Silicon photonics promises to solve this problem, according to Yu, as it burns through only a third of the power in terms of picojoules per bit.

“We were able to take silicon and get it to behave like indium phosphide through use of differentiated features and unique materials, so that we could apply scale to this problem of supplying enough bandwidth.”
