How Electro-Optic Polymers Boost PIC Speed and Power Efficiency

Presented by: Michael Lebby, Lightwave Logic

Steadily growing demand for bandwidth continues to put pressure on data centers and optical networks to increase the speed of their optoelectronic components while decreasing overall power consumption. This pressure has fueled interest in electro-optic polymer materials, enabling a new generation of modulators demonstrating ultrahigh speed and ultralow power in transceivers, line cards, servers, and routers. Further, these electro-optic polymers offer expanded latitudes for hybrid integrated photonic chips by allowing integration with incumbent silicon or indium phosphide photonic chip platforms.

The current class of polymer modulators enabled by this technology can deliver 3-dB bandwidths over 100 GHz with sub-1-V voltages in devices with extremely small (<1-mm length) footprints. The modulators are highly suitable for powering optical engines designed for pluggable transceivers and/or co-packaged modules.

Lebby reviews the potential solutions that electro-optical polymer modulators offer to integrated and hybrid photonics integrated chips (PICs), and he discusses their relevance to PIC packaging operations.
