Optical fiber interconnects (OFI) are dominating in data centers and other modern computing platforms enabling large communication capacity between the thousands of servers. As those platforms scale to meet the increase demand for data, the interconnect cannot scale without a change in the technology used for the optoelectronics of the OFI. The proposal is a close collaboration with INTENGENT who developed novel photodetectors enabling larger capacity. The researchers at McGill will take part in the validation cycle of the novel designs providing the data required for the following design phase. The benefits of this industrial collaboration is the commercialization of technology enabling more scalable modern computing platforms to support the Internet-of-Things as well as more advanced research.
