Silicon Photonics Chip Silicon Photonics Module
Silicon photonics (SiPho) technology leverages silicon-based materials to develop photonic circuits, which use light to transmit data. Thereby it opens a route towards very advanced PICs with very high yield and low cost. They are inserted into the network device and terminate the fiber optic cabling that runs throughout the network's physical infrastructure. The transmitter portion of the silicon photonics optical engine takes multiple high-speed electrical channels, converts them to an equivalent high-speed optical signal and couples this optical signal to one or more optical fibers, supporting distances from as close as the next rack to as far as. The silicon is usually patterned with sub-micrometre precision, into microphotonic components.
