Executive Summary
Silicon photonics is an emerging technology which is designed to deal with the problem of huge amount of data. This is possible through high density photonics integration with photonic devices. Moreover, these integrated photonics works closely with energy efficient network operation.
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. Silicon photonics 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. Since, silicon is a semiconductor, it is helpful in performing various functions such as optical modulation. Silicon based devices are highly reliable and are capable of producing mass production at much cheaper rate.
