Type of article: Article

Summary

Cryoelectronic technologies offer a series of fundamental advantages to high bandwidth communication systems, including high speed, low losses, low power dissipation, low noise and low "crosstalk". Nevertheless, for successful commercialization of these technologies, system-level performance advantages must outweigh the costs associated with cooling. The authors describe an 8 Gb/s multi-channel switch, packaged in a closed-cycle refrigeration system. On a more global level, they explain how cryoelectronics can be used as a complimentary and enabling technology in optical communication networks.
