The talk will first review the evolution of intra-data center interconnects over the past decade, then outline future opportunities of optics beyond networking. We will discuss optical and electrical devices, advanced modulation technologies and packaging innovations that deliver better performance and energy efficiency for applications including data center networking and machine learning. Requirements in 400G/800G short reach and long reach optical transceivers, coherent transceiver for intra-datacenter, fiber to machine, and die to die optical interconnects will be discussed.
