Silicon nanophotonics holds the promise of revolutionizing computing by enabling parallel architectures that combine unprecedented performance and ease of use with affordable power consumption. Here we describe the results of a detailed multiyear design study of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) on-chip and off-chip interconnects and the device technologies that could improve computing performance by a factor of 20 above industry projections over the next decade.
