[]In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, chiplets are emerging as a transformative technology, paving the way for the next generation of AI systems. Chiplets permit the integration of more processing power within a single package and allow for new connectivity solutions so that thousands of AI accelerators can work as a cohesive unit. Optical connectivity, facilitated by chiplets, offers high-speed data transmission with lower power consumption, crucial for handling the massive data loads in AI applications. The emerging chiplet ecosystem, underwritten by high-performance die-to-die interfaces, is throwing open the doors of innovation and facilitating the next wave of AI <a href="http://scaling.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="scaling.Speaker(s):">scaling.Speaker(s): Tony Chan Carusone, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/554357

Abstract:The demand for continuous increase in the bandwidth of optical transceivers creates a need for technological innovation of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). In particular, the modulators are often the limiting electro-optic component. Silicon photonics has provided a scalable platform for small, cost-effective, and highly integrated PICs, but silicon-based modulators have limited bandwidth and relatively large <a href="http://insertion-loss.Barium" target="_blank" title="insertion-loss.Barium">insertion-loss.Barium titanate (BTO) has emerged as a material for high-speed, low-loss electro-optic modulators that can be integrated into silicon photonic platforms. It is a stable oxide material, with large Pockels coefficients that can be produced on 300 mm wafers, which enables high-performance transmitter PICs with the same level of integration as silicon <a href="http://photonics.This" target="_blank" title="photonics.This">photonics.This talk will review the work that has been done by various researchers to develop BTO as a photonic platform, including various device demonstrations, the integration with silicon photonics, and its potential for applications in different fields. It will also discuss the commercial 200 mm BTO-silicon platform that Lumiphase has developed and the recent PIC <a href="http://demonstrations.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="demonstrations.Speaker(s):">demonstrations.Speaker(s): Felix EltesAgenda: 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm: Free networking (on-site only)2:00 pm - 3:00 pm: Tech Talk (hybrid)Room: MD267, Bldg: Macdonald Engineering Building, McGill University, 817 Sherbrooke St W, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3A 0C3, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/551060
