design of optical I/O transceiver

[salmon_lemon]

Could anyone advise how to begin with the physical layer design of optical I/O transceiver which is based on SFF-8472 specification ?

 

[FvM]

SFF-8472 is a management interface for SFP+ spec, no specification of the transceiver itself.

Can we implement IQ modulator, MZI modulator and wavelength demultiplexer all in planar waveguide ?

If you want "all in X" then you are talking photonic integration
and a limited number of "silicon photonics" players, which you
ought to go look at for foundry marketing material to assess any
possible paths to real implementation.

There will be things like wavelength specificity and a whole lot
of mystery technoblahblah that inform physical design, to get
hep regarding. Soak up the leading edge jibber-jabber so you
look smart when you start asking real questions.

I will probably look into Fully on-chip photonic turnkey quantum source for entangled qubit/qudit state generation as some reference. Let me know if you have other similar technical documents.
