摘要 / Abstract

This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of Silicon Photonics and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), addressing the "why now" of their adoption amidst growing bandwidth demands. We examine the foundational technology landscape, including key components, diverse material platforms, manufacturing maturity, and performance benchmarking against alternative technologies.

Moving to applications and the market landscape, the talk places special emphasis on Co-Packaged Optics (CPO). We will analyze specific CPO architectures and integration solutions to demonstrate how Silicon Photonics serves as the critical enabler and bandwidth engine for next-generation AI infrastructure.
