Photonic Circuits

Photonic circuits are systems that use light, typically from lasers or LEDs, to perform functions similar to electronic circuits, like processing or transmitting information. Instead of electrical signals through wires, they guide light through tiny pathways called waveguides. These circuits can achieve faster data transmission and lower energy consumption compared to traditional electronics. They are used in advanced communications, data centers, and sensors, enabling high-speed, efficient performance essential for modern technology. Essentially, photonic circuits harness the properties of light to improve how we process and communicate information.
