BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 25,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Polaris Electro-Optics, Inc., a Colorado-based company, announced a major
breakthrough for optical data transmission with the successful
demonstration of 102 Gbps PAM-4 silicon photonic modulation using
their proprietary new modulator technology. This innovation will be
presented in a post-deadline paper at the European Conference on
Optical Communications (ECOC) in Frankfurt, Germany on Thursday, September 26, 2024.
The technology integrates seamlessly with
silicon photonic wafers post-foundry, does not require poling, and
is robust and stable. This makes possible faster, smaller, and more
efficient photonic chips made using standard processes at any
foundry. No other technology offers that.
At the core of this technology are ferroelectric nematic liquid
crystals - a new variant of liquid crystal. Designed as a seamless
drop-in enhancer of silicon photonic chips, Polaris's modulator
technology paves the way for the next generation of optical
interconnects critical to the future of datacenter
disaggregation.
"The need for high speed, efficient, and small footprint
solutions for optical data transmission is growing rapidly. This
breakthrough places our technology as a key enabler of the
continued scale up of data centers," said Jason Sickler, CEO of Polaris Electro-Optics,
Inc. "The technology integrates seamlessly with silicon photonic
wafers post-foundry, does not require poling, and is robust and
stable. This makes possible faster, smaller, and more efficient
photonic chips made using standard processes at any foundry. No
other technology offers that." This technology is poised to become
the preferred solution for pluggable transceivers and future
optical interconnect platforms.
With this rapid pace of development, Polaris is set to offer a
key capability to telecommunications providers and hyperscaler
datacenter operators seeking to revolutionize their infrastructure.
As industries transition to disaggregated, high-speed systems,
Polaris's breakthrough modulators will be at the forefront of this
transformation.
