CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) Photonics

CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) Photonics combines traditional CMOS technology with photonic elements to enable light-based communication and processing. Unlike standard electronics that use electricity to send signals, CMOS photonics uses light, which can transmit data faster and consume less power. This technology integrates optical components onto silicon chips, allowing for efficient data transfer in applications like data centers, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. By leveraging the benefits of both electronics and photonics, it aims to enhance the speed and efficiency of modern computing and communication systems.
