摘要
信息化的不断深入,要求信息技术的带宽、时延和速率等性能持续提升,成本、能耗等持续下降。但受制于物理特性,电子信息技术面临诸多挑战,尤其是带宽、能耗等维度。充分利用光子的优势,文章提出基于光电融合使信息光子技术在连接/传输、路由/交换、计算/处理等诸多信息领域发挥出支柱作用,推动人类由电子信息时代进入光电信息时代。
The deepening of informatization requires the continuous improvement of the bandwidth,latency,rate and other performance of information technology,and the continuous decline in cost and power consumption.However,due to physical characteristics,electronic information technology is faced with many challenges,especially in the dimensions of bandwidth and power consumption.Making full use of the advantages of photons,we propose the convergence of photonics and electronics to enable information photonics playing a pillar role in technology fields such as connection/transmission,routing/switching,computation/processing and so on,and promote human beings from the electronic information age to the photoelectronic information age.
