"Luxtera’s Silicon Photonics Technology Enables 100Gbps Data Center
 Interconnects"

  "today announced the demonstration of 25Gbps receiver technology in
   its CMOS-based Silicon Photonics platform." ... "This technology,
   combined with Luxtera’s recently announced 25Gbps transmitters,
   enables development of products for parallel 100Gbps InfiniBand and
   Ethernet, as well as for serial 32G Fibre Channel applications."

...
  "Silicon Photonics utilizes CMOS processes to deliver on-chip
   waveguide level modulation and photo-detection. Unlike traditional
   directly modulated transceivers, lasers in silicon photonics
   applications are always on, acting as a continuous supply of photons
   to the chip - analogous to electrical power suppliers in electronic
   applications. In addition, light from a single laser is utilized to
   power multiple optical transmitters on a chip eliminating the need
   for multiple lasers and reducing transceiver cost. This fact allows
   Luxtera to reuse the same laser used in current production 10Gbps
   transceivers to power next generation higher speed products, thus
   eliminating the need for development of higher speed light sources.
   When combined with single-mode fiber and waveguide photodetector
   receivers, this solution offers practically unlimited reach and
   performance at 25Gbps."
...
  "Commercial products based on 25Gbps transceiver technology
   availability will coincide with the market’s introduction of
   100Gbps EDR InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet Systems. Initial products
   will be delivered in 4x25G configurations, with potential platform
   extensions to highly parallel interconnects such as 12x and 16x."

  "For the third year in a row, Luxtera's 40Gbps Active Optical Cables
   (AOC), Blazar, will provide connectivity for the SC10 SCinet
   InfiniBand network, built for HPC demonstrations. Selected for its
   extended reach and reliability, Blazar can support up to 4,000 meters
   and offers the industry’s lowest power consumption of 20mW per
   Gigabit."
