Comparison of Silicon Photonics VCSEL Technology

Comparison of Silicon Photonics VCSEL Technology

Two major approaches are commonly considered: silicon photonics-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and VCSEL-based PIC solutions. While both aim to enable high-bandwidth optical communication, their system complexity and manufacturability differ significantly. While both technologies offer compelling advantages, this article will delve into why VCSELs, particularly for shorter-reach, high-density applications, continue. Recent technical and commercial milestones in Silicon Photonics technology including its introduction into commercial foundries, and successful integration of most optical components, as well as the choice of single mode fiber in some mega data centers have prompted th...
