Integrated Photonics

Integrated photonics is a technology that involves combining various optical components, like lasers, detectors, and waveguides, onto a single chip, similar to how electronic components are integrated in microchips. This enables efficient manipulation of light for various applications, such as telecommunications, sensing, and medical devices. By utilizing light instead of electricity for data transmission and processing, integrated photonics can achieve higher speeds and lower energy consumption, making it a promising field for improving communication systems and enhancing performance in a range of technologies.
