Slow light lets silicon chip reach 200 Gb/s for AI data centers
Original: Slow-moving light helps a tiny silicon chip hit 200 Gb/s for AI data centers
Researchers report that a tiny silicon chip has achieved data transmission rates of 200 Gb/s by slowing down light as it travels through the device, an approach aimed at the growing bandwidth demands of AI data centers. The result points to silicon photonics as a way to move more data between AI systems using existing chipmaking technology.
Why now: AI data centers' exploding bandwidth needs are driving intense interest in faster optical interconnect technology.
