Visionshopsters added new report on Global Silicon Photonics Market

Report description

The integration of photonics with electronics revolutionized the microelectronics industry. However, the use of this combination remained limited to high-end devices and applications due to the high cost of optical fibers and other optoelectronic components. This led to the introduction of silicon in photonic applications, giving rise to the new field of silicon-photonics. Silicon is a low-cost and readily-available substance that presents tremendous potential for use in optoelectronics.

Silicon has since then become a crucial ingredient in microelectronics through its potential to address limitations of speed and bulk data transfer. Products such as silicon photonic waveguides, silicon optical modulators, silicon optical interconnects, silicon LED and silicon photo detectors have crossed the stages of initial research and have already entered the market. The silicon-photonics market is still in the nascent stage, and presents huge opportunities for the early movers. However, companies would require to make huge R&D investments for long-term growth.
