Foundry-Enabled Scalable All-to-All Optical Interconnects Using Silicon Nitride Arrayed Waveguide Router Interposers and Silicon Photonic Transceivers

This paper summarizes our latest results of integrated all-to-all optical interconnect systems using compact, low-loss silicon nitride (SiN) arrayed waveguide grating router (AWGR) through AIM photonics' multiple-project-wafer services. In particular, we have designed, taped out, and initially characterized a chip-scale silicon photonic low-latency interconnect optical network switch (Si-LIONS) sy...
