THz Interconnect, Complement to Electrical and Optical Interconnects
“Interconnect Gap” has been a long-standing grand challenge caused by the gap between the ever-increasing data rate demand and the insufficient capabilities. The capacity challenge is further deteriorated with simultaneous challenges of energy efficiency and cost. Existing electrical interconnect (EI) and optical interconnect (OI) face fundamental difficulties to completely address the interconnect issues individually. THz Interconnect (TI), utilizing the frequency spectrum sandwiched between microwave and optical frequencies, holds the high potentials to complement EI and OI by leveraging the advantages of both electronics and optics. In this talk, I will present our research activities in the high potential TI field, including THz silicon waveguide channel development, TI system demonstration, dispersion constrained link bandwidth and mitigation schemes such as mode division and frequency division multiplexing based channelization.
