Title: 3D Co-Packaged Optics: Redefining Silicon Photonics for the Next Era of Computing

Abstract: We present a system-level view of 3D co-packaged optics for scalable compute and networking. Topics include photonic-electronic integration, high-speed modulators and receivers, laser/thermal control, packaging parasitics, and energy-per-bit optimization, with insights from recent hardware demonstrations.
