Optical I/O core based on silicon photonics technology and optical/electrical assembly was developed as a fingertip-size optical module with high bandwidth density, low power consumption, and high temperature operation. The advantages of the optical I/O core, including hybrid integration of quantum dot laser diode and optical pin, allow us to achieve 300-m transmission at 25Gbps per channel when optical I/O core is mounted around field-programmable gate array without clock data recovery.
