How do you build a 400G optical link? Multimode fiber or single-mode fiber? IEEE 802.3bs 400G will use both multimode fiber for 100 meter spans and singlemode fiber for 500m to 10 km links NRZ or PAM4? NRZ is used for multimode systems, while PAM4 is used for single-mode systems 2

Photonics: - Photonics is the technology of signal processing, transmission and detection where the signal is carried by Photons (light). Silicon Photonics: - Silicon Photonics can be defined as the utilization of silicon-based materials for the generation (electrical-to-optical conversion), guidance, control, and detection (optical-to-electrical conversion) of light to communicate information over distance.

Silicon Photonics is evolving technology in which data is transferred among computer chips by optical rays can carry far more data in less time than electrical conductors Its overarching goal is to develop hig-volume, low-cost optical components using standard CMOS process. The same manufacturing process used for microprocessors and semiconductor devices. Chip Level Integrated electrical- optical transceiver Closing packing of components ex): Driver/Amplifier/Lasers/Detectors Adding the transceiver to the silicon function library 9
