High-precision door-to-door transportation using silicon photonics technology
The breakthrough sensor technology, known as Anello SiPhOG (Silicon Photonics Optical Gyroscope), is based on integrated photonic system-on-chip technology and offers precise positioning even in locations where conventional GPS systems fail. Lidar systems use pulses of infrared light to measure distance and map a 3D scene with high resolution, allowing autonomous vehicles to rapidly react to obstacles that appear in their path. But traditional lidar sensors are expensive, bulky systems with many moving parts that degrade over time. Cisco Confidential Need for low-cost single-mode fiber interconnect initiated first high-volume deployment of silicon photonics transceivers. The Silicon Photonics market is set to grow in size from around $480m as measured in 2019 to around $3. We describe below the drivers behind this growth and how MRSI is supporting our manufacturing customers to capitalize on this new technology.
