The Radical Innovation Of A New Polymer Internet
October 6, 2022
How Do We Scale The Internet With Better Modulators?
The key metrics in performance for optical modulator devices that are important to architects of the internet today and over the next decade are: (a) optical modulator device speed measured in bandwidth, (b) optical modulator device power consumption, (c) optical modulator device footprint size, and (d) optical modulator compatibility for photonics integration.
Taking the optical modulator device as a critical device that both scales and enables a more competitive internet, then the following scaling metrics at least need to be addressed:
High volume—must be able to scale in foundries and large fabrication plants
Low cost—material must be able to scale in cost, with no supply issues
High speed—optical modulator devices that are at least 3X faster than current semiconductor incumbent technologies
Low power—optical modulator devices that have an impact of at least 10X reduction of power for the internet architecture
Ultra-small size and footprint—size is an issue for the internet, and optical engines that contain modulators can alleviate this issue
Integration onto a Photonic integrated circuit (PIC)[3] platform—following the IC industry, more functionality on a chip creates PICs that are more efficient and practical.
Today, optical modulators are used everywhere on the internet; however, they are semiconductor based, using materials such as lithium niobate, indium phosphide, and silicon. With all these materials, the optical modulator design has reached a saturation point in performance, which means it’s time to look at a new technology platform.
Stage entry: Polymer optical modulators. Polymer optical modulators are devices that switch light over 3X faster than existing optical semiconductor devices. Furthermore, they relieve the architecture of the internet by taking away the chains of limited optical speeds. This allows the internet to keep competitive by allowing speed to continue growing. Coming back to the road analogy, this is like increasing the speed of the motor car as you drive on a road, and not just a little bit, but significantly.
What This All Means
Scaling the internet through drastic innovation really boils down to the design of optical polymer modulators that have inherently increased the speed of the optics, lowered power consumption, are tiny, and allow for creative integration onto hybrid PICs. This clearly is the radical innovative engine of change for the internet. The future for the internet never has been so exciting!
