2. Background Optical networks are connected through optical fibers with elements capable
of providing optical channel transport, mul tiplexing, routing, management of the network …

This paper proposes and experimentally evaluates a fully developed novel architecture with
purpose built low latency communication protocols for next generation disaggregated data …

Dramatic increases in processing power have rapidly scaled on-chip aggregate bandwidths
into the Tb/s range. This necessitates a corresponding increase in the amount of data …

To reduce costs and simplify operations, carriers are deploying flexible optical networks that
can be easily reconfigured and managed remotely. This article provides an overview of …

Powerful warehouse-scale datacenters form the fabric of cloud computing. Efficient
computing requires intra-datacenter interconnects with large capacity, low energy …

We demonstrate an optical switch design that can scale up to a thousand ports with high per-
port bandwidth (25 Gbps+) and low switching latency (40 ns). Our design uses a broadcast …

The INTREPID program is developing power-efficient coherent optics for package-level
integration with future switch integrated circuits as a path to realizing higher-radix switches …

Market forecasts for intra and inter data center interconnects predict high growth rates in the
upcoming years. This is associated with increasing requirements in terms of costs, power …

Large data centers interconnect bottlenecks are dominated by the switch I/O BW and the
front panel BW as a result of pluggable modules. To overcome the front panel BW and the …

We present an additive noise model for the signal-to-noise ratio prediction in optical systems
employing low-resolution (4 bits and below) digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital …
