Photonic input-output can easily wavelength division multiplex (WDM) over enormous bandwidths without incurring any extra propagation loss; this allows staggering single line rates while using modest channel rates, which alleviates driver/receiver implementation. Silicon photonics is an attractive platform for this application due to its compact waveguide bends, its scalability and
