PICs Set Their Sights Beyond Data and Telecom

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Having powered the data revolution, photonic integrated circuits are bringing compact, power-efficient solutions to new markets, including health care, agriculture, and automotive.

CAROL DE VRIES, PHOTONDELTA

Due to the strong association that photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have with the data and telecom markets, it is easy to overlook their potential in other verticals — such as health care, agriculture and food production, and automotive applications — where integrated photonics offers the promise for compact, energy-efficient, and innovative solutions. So what challenges are these industries facing? How is integrated photonics helping to solve these challenges? And what might the future hold? Health care A combination of factors is adversely affecting the provision of...Read full article

    integrated photonics
    Integrated photonics is a field of study and technology that involves the integration of optical components, such as lasers, modulators, detectors, and waveguides, on a single chip or substrate. The goal of integrated photonics is to miniaturize and consolidate optical elements in a manner similar to the integration of electronic components on a microchip in traditional integrated circuits. Key aspects of integrated photonics include: Miniaturization: Integrated photonics aims to...
