The reporter learned from China Information and Communication Technology Group that China's self-developed '100G silicon optical transceiver chip' was put into production in Wuhan recently and passed the test of the user's live network. The performance is stable and reliable. This marks the successful development of China's commercial 100G silicon optical chip. Will promote China's independent silicon optical chip technology to a new level.
This silicon optical chip was jointly developed by National Information Optoelectronics Innovation Center, State Key Laboratory of Optical Fiber Communication Technology and Network, Wuhan Guangxun Technology Co., Ltd. and China Information and Communication Technology Group, and integrated on a silicon chip of less than 30 square millimeters. It includes nearly 60 active and passive optical components such as optical transmission, modulation, and reception. The chip has the advantages of ultra-small, high-performance, low-cost, generalization, etc. It can be widely used in transmission networks and data center optical transmission equipment.
Yu Shaohua, director of the Expert Committee of the National Information Optoelectronics Innovation Center and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that the industrialization of 100G silicon optical chips indicates that China has the conditions and basis for the commercial design of silicon light products. In the future, silicon light technology will be in optical communication systems. Large-scale deployment and application, promoting China's independent silicon optical chip technology to ultra-high speed, large capacity, ultra long distance, high integration, high performance, low power consumption, high reliability.
