Abstract :
We discuss opportunities that silicon photonics offers for metro and regional reach dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) transceivers operating at 100G and beyond. In particular, we describe the unique advantages provided by silicon photonics for transceivers based on coherent detection.
