At the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC 2023) in Glasgow, Scotland, UK (2–4 October), researchers from IDLab, a team at Ghent University, Belgium from Leuven-based microelectronics research center imec, have presented an optical receiver achieving a gross data rate of 200Gbps. Their approach, combining a SiGe BiCMOS traveling-wave electronics integrated circuit and a silicon photonics germanium photodetector, offers not only speed but also scalability: two prerequisites for meeting exploding data-rate needs...
