8192 Supernode Optical Module
Here, we present a reticle-sized optical phased array with 8,192 individually controlled elements driven by flip-chip CMOS electronics. Due to its scale, this demonstration simultaneously breaks records for element count, steering range, and aperture size. The reticle-sized PIC+CMOS beam ste ti s devices; ( ection and ranging (LiDAR) and free-space optical communication [1–6]. Ivana Lemos introduces Ciena's new 8192, the 800G technology advancements that made this possible, and what it means for the industry. The title says it all: we're excited to introduce our first 800GbE router, Ciena's 8192.
