Silicon Photonics PIC vs. VCSEL-Based PIC

Silicon Photonics PIC vs. VCSEL-Based PIC

As AI data centers scale, the architecture of optical interconnects becomes increasingly important. Two major approaches are commonly considered: silicon photonics-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and VCSEL-based PIC solutions. While both aim to enable high-bandwidth optical communication, their system complexity and manufacturability differ significantly.

AI is an Energy Consuming Monster

Few years ago, a hyperscale data center consumed about 50-100 Megawatts (MW) of power. While tech giants today, like Microsoft and Google are planning gigawatt-scale clusters. The Stargate project proposed by US government is forecasting a power requirement of up to 10 Gigawatts (GW).

Why AI Is Slowing Down — And It’s Not a Computing Problem

Modern AI models, such as ChatGPT or Gemini, have grown so massive that they cannot fit into the memory of a single GPU. If the connection performance between them compromises, the entire supercomputer slows down.
