9. 9 THE ORIGIN What is “integrated photonics”? • The term “integrated optics” was introduced in 1960. • The term emphasizes the similarity to integrated electronics. • The idea behind the term is to fabricate an optical integrated circuit, which consists of various elements (both passive and active) fabricated on the same substrate and connected with optical transmission lines, called optical waveguides.

11. 11 MOTIVATION Light at wavelength of λ = 1550 nm can give the maximum bandwidth of up to 194x1012 Hz! 1% of this value is 2 THz, which is roughly equal to a bit rate of 2 Tbit/s.
12. 12 MOTIVATION Light at wavelength of λ = 1550 nm can give the maximum bandwidth of up to 194x1012 Hz! 1% of this value is 2 THz, which is roughly equal to a bit rate of 2 Tbit/s. 2 THz = 4x105 analog video channels at a bandwidth of 5 MHz = 4x108 telephone calls at 5 kHz per call
13. 13 MOTIVATION Light at wavelength of λ = 1550 nm can give the maximum bandwidth of up to 194x1012 Hz! 1% of this value is 2 THz, which is roughly equal to a bit rate of 2 Tbit/s. 2 THz = 4x105 analog video channels at a bandwidth of 5 MHz = 4x108 telephone calls at 5 kHz per call How to use this potential? Problems: • Electronics components did not operate at such speeds (+ remember that this was in 1960s). • A new medium was needed to carry light.
14. 14 MOTIVATION Optical fiber: optics versus electronics Twisted-pair cable Coaxial cable - R.G. Hunsperger, Integrated optics. Theory and technology. Springer, 2009. Only very short-distance commutations or operation at very low frequencies. Coaxial cables can be used for data transmission over relatively short distances, at frequencies up to about 100 MHz.
15. 15 MOTIVATION Reasons: 1. Higher bandwidth 2. Higher latency (lower delays) 3. Lower power consumption 4. Lower crosstalk 5. Smaller dimensions 6. Less number of guides

Caches work by storing part of the memory the processor is working on. Synergistic Processor Element Local Store SPE uses 256 KB “local store”. The SPE operates on registers which are read from or written to the local stores. 16 Byte (128 bit) can be moved per cycle to or from the local store giving 64 GB/s = 512 Gbit/s. The local store can access main memory in blocks of 1Kb minimum (16Kb maximum) but the SPE cannot act directly on main memory (they can only move data to or from the local stores). SPE performance was 32 GFLOPS, while Pentium D 840 could give < 13 GFLOPS and Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra < 40 GFLOPS.
