Multimode Waveguide Grating Coupler
Tags: The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Computing Technology, Electronics & Robotics
This multimode waveguide grating coupler enables efficient mode division multiplexing in multimode fiber, multiplying transmission capacity without needing additional wavelengths or lasers. It can reduce the cost of optical transceivers while scaling data center interconnects to 4Tb/s. The technology is compatible with standard multimode fibers, making it ideal for high-speed optical communications. Applications include data center interconnects and multimode imaging. It addresses the growing demand for faster, scalable data transmission in data centers.
