The silicon photonics technology transforms the communication industry into a very-large-scale integrated (VLSI) electronics with the integration of digital electronic chips. Silicon photonics is a technology which is both cost as well as energy effective, and majorly helps in resolving the problems related to huge data transfer (>100 GB) and slow internet speed. At present, the major impact of silicon photonics technology can be seen in data communication and healthcare particularly. In ultrasound medical imaging systems, the signal strength will exceed up to 100 GB/sec once aligned with the silicon photonics technology. Apart from telecommunications, silicon photonics technology is extensively being used in the mass production of biosensors as well.
New developments in silicon photonics will transform healthcare segment and provide innovative techniques in detecting, curing and handling of diseases. In manufacturing, laser dispensation will be an important condition for manufacturing mass quality production quickly at a cheap rate. Further, photonics technology will also help in eradicating problems associated with optical computing or quantum computing. Silicon photonics proves to be a boon for the communication industry, which will transform the entire communication segment by increasing data ability and data transmission speed, while instantaneously decreasing the overall cost/ bit. Silicon photonics will play a vital role in successfully resolving the challenges associated with energy efficiency and moving to a carbon free economy.
The problem to transfer huge data quickly could be resolved permanently through high density photonics integration with photonic devices. Moreover, these integrated photonics works closely with energy efficient network operations. Silicon Photonics is the perfect solution for such high density photonic integration, which allows incorporation of photonic devices made of silicon on a silicon wafer. The silicon material is translucent and has a refractive index in the range of 1200-1700 nm telecommunication wavelength. Thus, it is used to build very dense photonic devices.
