PRESENTATION
Design and Integration of Photonic and Electronic Integrated Circuits for High-Speed Wireline Transceivers
The market of high-speed transceivers has enjoyed significant growth over the past decade due to their application both in and between data centers. This presentation addresses the development of future generations of such transceivers, from the viewpoint of not only the photonic integrated circuits and the underlying processes, but also the subsequent analog electronics and high-speed analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. Next-generation transceivers will operate at baudrates as high as 100 to 130Gbaud, with rates far beyond this already on the horizon. The integration between these different constituent parts is critical to achieve high performance: novel integration techniques and their underlying process are addressed.

Peter Ossieur earned his M.Sc. engineering degree in applied electronics in 2005 and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Ghent University in 2008. From 2005-2008, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Fund of Scientific Research at Ghent University, focusing on 10Gbit/s burst-mode receivers and optoelectronics for automotive applications. In 2009, he established an IC design group focusing on optoelectronic applications with the Photonic Systems Group, Tyndall National Institute, and the Department of Physics at the University College Cork in Ireland. Ossieur joined IDLab, an imec research group at Ghent University, in 2017. Today, he is the program manager for high-speed transceivers and leading research focused on developing high-speed analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for photonic applications. He has (co-) authored 120 peer-reviewed papers and holds several patents.
