Kyocera Corporation developed an on-board optics module (43.5 x 30 x 8.1 mm) with a bandwidth of 512 Gbps. Kyocera’s prototype module is miniaturized for installation on a printed circuit board near the processor, allowing electronic data to be converted into optical signals instantaneously. Data can be received as optical signals until just before reaching the processor, reducing signal loss and power consumption. The module uses a Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) mounting substrate developed by Kyocera, which provides for fine wiring, low dielectric constant, multilayering, and thermal conductivity. Other features include 16 channels of 32 Gbps/channel, 512 Gbps total optical transmission and reception, and four sets of eight-channel multimode optical fibers, each with four-channel optical transmission and reception.
