Meaning of silicon photonics | Babel Free
Definitions
The technology discipline related to production of optical switching electronic devices using integrated circuit manufacturing technology
Examples
“Here's a better way: replace⟳ the copper with optical fiber and the electrons with photons. That's the promise⟳ of silicon photonics: affordable optical communications for everything. It will let⟳ manufacturers build⟳ optical components using the same semiconductor equipment and methods they use⟳ now for ordinary integrated circuits, thereby dramatically lowering the cost⟳ of photonics.”
