A technical paper titled “Multi-dimensional data transmission using inverse-designed silicon photonics and microcombs” was published by researchers at Stanford, Harvard, University of Central Florida, NIST, and others.
“Here we demonstrate an integrated multi-dimensional communication scheme that combines wavelength- and mode- multiplexing on a silicon photonic circuit. Using foundry-compatible photonic inverse design and spectrally flattened microcombs, we demonstrate a 1.12-Tb/s natively error-free data transmission throughout a silicon nanophotonic waveguide. Furthermore, we implement inverse-designed surface-normal couplers to enable multimode optical transmission between separate silicon chips throughout a multimode-matched fibre,” states the paper.
