Silicon optical technology is a low -cost and high -speed light communication technology based on silicon optical studies. It uses laser beam instead of electronic signal transmission data. Intel's laboratory is for integrated laser through mixed silicon laser technology, and for the first time, silicon light -based data connection is achieved Essence

　　Silicon optical technology uses standard silicon to achieve light information between computers and other electronic devices. Unlike the crystal pipes mainly depend on ordinary silicon materials, the basic materials used in silicon optical technology are glass. Because light is transparent for glass and no interference will occur. Therefore, the signal can be transmitted by integrated light wave pirates in the glass, which is very suitable for large -scale communication inside and multi -core. The biggest advantage of silicon optical technology is that it has a high transmission rate, which can make the data transmission speed between the processor kernels 100 times or even higher than the current.

　　AOI has launched a series of short -range QSFP+ 40Gbps optical transceivers for data center networks. This series of QSFP+ SR4 fiber optic transceiver uses AOI's exclusive optical engine technology, including laser and photoresist/pre -release large array to support multi -channel links. These modules can achieve interoperability with other 40GBase-SR4 QSFP+and QDR transceivers. Through OM3 multi-mode fiber, it can support a 300-meter transmission distance.

　　In order to cooperate with these independent transceivers, AOI also launched 40Gbps active optical cable (AOC) for data centers and core network applications. The active optical cable can be used to configure a pair of 40G transceivers or equipped with four separate SFP+ 10G serial ports for data centers.

　　Robinson TSAI, Vice President of R & D of AOI Network Equipment Business Department. The demand for bandwidth in data centers is growing. As a leading Internet data center optical supplier, AOI has spent several years developing a series of technologies needed by our customers. These customers need to be more interactive than the current 10Gbps rate. These technologies currently support 40Gbps. Extend to 100Gbps and above.
