Silicon Photonics: Fueling the Next Information Revolution – eBook

Silicon photonics uses chip-making techniques to fabricate photonic circuits. The emerging technology is coming to market at a time of momentous change. The need of the Internet content providers to keep scaling their data centers is becoming increasingly challenging, the chip industry is facing a future without Moore’s law, while telcos must contend with a looming capacity crunch due to continual traffic growth. Each of these developments is significant in its own right. Collectively, they require new thinking in the design of chips, optical components, and systems. Such change also signals new business opportunities and disruption.

Notwithstanding challenges, silicon photonics’ emergence is timely because it is the future of several industries. For the optical industry, technology will allow designs to be tackled in new ways. For the chip industry, silicon photonics will become the way of scaling post Moore’s law. New system architectures enabled by silicon photonics will improve large-scale computing and optical communications.
