Introducing Intel’s Advances in Silicon Photonics White Paper Dr. Mario Paniccia Director, Photonics Technology Lab Victor Krutul Senior Manager, Photonics Technology Strategy Sean Koehl Senior Photonics Engineer February 2004 I n t r o d u c i n g I n t e l ’s A d v a n c e s i n S i l i c o n P h o t o n i c s Intel’s research into silicon photonics is an end-to-end Silicon Opaque Silicon Transparent program to extend Moore’s Law into new areas, such as fiber optics. It aims to “siliconize” photonics by using Intel’s Infra Red (IR) Ultra Violet (UV) Visible Visible manufacturing expertise to develop and build optical devices Near IR Far IR in silicon and bring PC economics to high-bandwidth optical
