PRESENTATION
Silicon Photonics Platform for Next-Generation Co-Packaged Optics and Optical I/O
This presentation reviews recent performance achievements in high-speed, energy efficient electro optical modulators and photodetectors for next generation co packaged optics operating at 400G/lane and future optical I/O with wide and slow parallel interfaces, addressing the bandwidth, energy efficiency, and integration density requirements of AI scale up and scale out architectures.

Yoojin Ban is a Technology Director at imec, previously serving as Program Manager of the industry-affiliation R&D program on Optical I/O at imec since 2021. By advancing silicon photonics technology, imec’s Optical I/O R&D program seeks to substantially scale optical interconnects to bandwidth densities beyond 1Tbps/mm, while consuming less power than 1pJ/bit, thereby enabling next-generation AI, HPC and Cloud datacenter systems. Prior to Program Manager, she spent 6 years as responsible for the Si Photonics device development and Si Photonics based optical transceiver demonstration at imec. She received M.E degree in electrical and electronics engineering from Yonsei University, South Korea in 2015, for her work on silicon photonics high-speed device modelling.
