Beyond 600-Gb/s Single-Photodiode Direct-Detection via Optical Band Multiplexing for Scale-Out Optical Interconnects

IEEE Photonics Journal
As short-reach data-center optical interconnects evolve toward 400G-and-beyond per lane, the bandwidth limitation of electrical components has become a major constraint.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Simplified layered MLSE for PAM4 short-reach optical interconnects

Optics Express
To meet the high-speed and high-efficiency demands for optical interconnects, simplified layered maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) is proposed in this paper. Compared with the conventional MLSE, simplified layered MLSE reduces the processing delay from linear order to logarithmic order through the layered architecture, while simultaneously ...

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

The suitability of SiGe multiple quantum well modulators for short reach DWDM optical interconnects

Optics Express, 2013
We describe calculations that address the suitability at using silicon-germanium multiple quantum well (MQW) modulators in dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) short reach optical interconnects that vary over a significant temperature range. Our calculations indicate that there is a tradeoff between the number of channels, the temperature range
