Intel announced in Beijing today with hybrid silicon laser developed the world's first silicon-based optoelectronic integrated laser data link system, the technology can replace the beam inside the computer and peripheral electronic data transmission. Due to silicon raw materials, related products false low volume production expected in 2,3 years.
According to vice president of Intel Research, Circuits and Systems Director, Dr. Wang Wenhan introduction, silicon-based optical data link system can achieve a longer transmission distance and 50Gbps data transfer, the future of the technology is expected to upgrade to 100Gbps or 400Gbps over. Using optical technology, input and output devices would improve the situation of many computer equipment can be made smaller and lighter; the future of a screen refresh rate to 120Hz and up to 4 times as high definition and also can be achieved only through optical techniques.
He described the current computer platform, most of the above is a copper wire with basically the time to 10Gbps already close to physical limits, and the transmission distance of more than 3 meters is very difficult, takes more energy to transmit. The best alternative is to transfer data from the cable, because cable transmission distance and the amount of data is greater.
On the specific effect, the chief engineer of Intel's Photonics Technology Lab Dr. Liu Ansheng introduction, this system can be a second time in less than a high-definition movies to download, or download a 1000 Zhang Gaoqing pictures, etc., and then the next speed upgrade , the user can be less than one second to download the entire computer hard drives all over, or 32 TV series can be downloaded. Within a minute and a half can print all of the Library of Congress under download.
It is reported that in the past lasers are costly and difficult for ordinary users, but Intel's invention of the silicon-based optical data link system, low cost and easy to manufacture, without using expensive and difficult to manufacture GaAs original. According to Wang Wenhan, at present the system is still a conceptual platform for 2023 that may meet production standards.
