Title: Silicon meets light: Photonic paths to AI-scale connectivity.
Authors: VALLO, MARTIN1
Source: Laser Focus World. Jan/Feb2026, Vol. 62 Issue 1, p29-32. 4p.
Subjects: Optical interconnects, Integrated circuits, Optical transceivers, Integrated optics, Server farms (Computer network management)
Abstract: The article examines how rapid advances in silicon photonic integrated circuits are enabling artificial intelligence (AI)-scale connectivity, with market growth driven by soaring data-center demand and forecasts projecting significant growth by 2030. Topics include high-speed optical interconnects and pluggable modules, the advantages and challenges of silicon PICs and hybrid integration, and strategic paths toward 400G-per-lane versus copackaged "slow and wide" optics.
