Abstract: Due to the growing of cloud concept and Internet Of Things (IOT), the demand of transmission bandwidth of networks is getting huge and urgent. Silicon photonic technologies are thought to be one of the most potential candidates to enable the transmission speed up to terabit and satisfied the hungry demand of communication networks. To satisfy the bandwidth demand and reduce the complexity to ensure the possibility of production, a hyper structure composed by wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and space division multiplexing (SDM) is proposed in this presentation. The related technologies of silicon photonic device, high power DFB lasers, driving and amplified IC, package and assembly, and the measurement system are summarized.

Bibliography：Professor Tien-Tsorng Shih was born in Taiwan at 1965. He received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, at 1986 and 1991, respectively. At 1991, he joined the Telecommunication Laboratories, Taiwan, as an associate researcher. From 1996 to 2000, he was a project manager at Chunghwa Telecommunication Laboratories, Taiwan. At 2000, he founded Infomax Optical Technology Corporation and was the CEO during 2000 to 2003. Infomax produced DFB laser chip and collaborated with Intel to upgrade the speed to 10Gb/s. After 2003, he becomes a faculty member of Department of Electronic Engineering, National Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences, Taiwan. He has been a chair of the department during 2013~2016 and now is at a position of distinguished professor. His main research interests include the high speed circuit board design, optical transceiver, theoretical study of optical waveguides and III-V optoelectronic devices, silicon photonic device, high speed IC design, fabrication of laser diodes, photodiodes, packaging technology for optoelectronic devices, and transmission technologies for the fiber optics communication applications. He has published 50 SCI papers, owned more than 20 patents, and collaborated with many companies to do research projects and transfer technologies. He is now leading a project to develop a 1.6Tb/s optical engine by using silicon photonic technologies.
