Global Silicon Photonics Market: Overview

Silicon photonics is the study of the photonic systems where silicon is used as an optical medium to transfer data. The study deals with a photonic system which transmits, manipulates, generates, and processes the data with good speed between the microchips. This system operates at a wavelength of 1.55 micrometer, which falls under infrared spectrum and it is mostly used for optical communications. Silicon photonics integrate three technologies together which includes micro-electro-mechanical systems, 3D stacking, and a complementary metal oxide semiconductor. The basic operation of silicon photonics is to transfer data in the form of optical rays between computer chips. Silicon photonics enable high-speed data transfer coupled with low power consumption over an optical fiber.
