Helping to scale next generation optical connectivity

Benoit Fleury, CPO Business Director at Corning, explains how Corning is collaborating with GlobalFoundries to develop detachable fibre connector solutions for the GF Fotonix™ silicon photonics platform. The latest solution, a glass-waveguide based edge-coupler compatible with GF Fotonix’s v-grooves, is designed to meet the growing demands of AI data centres for high bandwidth and power-efficient optical connectivity. Other coupling mechanisms are also being developed, including a vertically-coupled detachable fibre-to-PIC solution – demonstrating Corning and GlobalFoundries’ combined ability to produce multiple forms of co-packaged PIC-to-fibre connectivity.
