High-Speed, High-Performance and Low-Cost Receiver Optics for Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SW-WDM) Optical Fiber Interconnects

光纤互连(OFI)在数据中心和其他现代计算平台中占据主导地位 实现了数千台服务器之间的大通信容量。随着这些平台的扩展以满足 增加对数据的需求，如果不改变用于 OFI的光电子学。这项提议是与小说开发商英腾腾的密切合作 能够实现更大容量的光电探测器。麦吉尔的研究人员将参加 新颖的设计，提供了后续设计阶段所需的数据。这项工业技术的好处 协作是技术的商业化，使更可扩展的现代计算平台能够 支持物联网以及更高级的研究。

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.
