What devices do data centers need

We discuss the trend in fiber optic technology developments to fulfill the scaling requirements of data center networks.

Optical Interconnects for Scale-Out Data Centers

We review the architecture of modern datacenter networks, as well as their scaling challenges; we then present opportunities and needs for emerging optical technologies to support datacenter scaling.

Silicon photonics for optical access networks

We highlight promising developments and directions in silicon photonics for realizing cost effective WDM-PON: photonic integration for integrated WDM transceivers at the OLT and widely tunable laser technologies for achieving a high performance, colorless ONU.

Silicon Photonics Technologies: Gaps Analysis for Datacenter Interconnects

We give an overview of optical interconnect requirements for large scale datacenters. We then make a comparison between silicon photonics technologies and more traditional options in meeting these requirements.

Datacenter interconnect and networking: From evolution to holistic revolution

In this presentation, we will review the evolution of Googles intra-datacenter interconnects and networking over the past decade, then outline future technology directions which, along with a more holistic design approach, will be needed to keep pace with the requirements and growth of the datacenter.
