Based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (COMS) technology — a standard low-cost, high-volume chip manufacturing technique used for most processors and chips today — a group of researchers from IBM Research in Zurich, Switzerland, together with a consortium working under the EU-funded project “ADDAPT,” have demonstrated a novel optical receiver (RX) that can achieve an aggregate bandwidth of 160 Gb/s through four optical fibers at the OFC Conference.
