Silicon Photonics
This technology changes electricity in the circuit into light,
which speeds up information processing enormously to open up amazing new possibilities.
Silicon photonics:
Replacing electronics
with light in
information processing
Technology that fuses optical functions and silicon LSI technology to enable large-capacity data transmission and low power consumption. Faster information processing and lower power consumption than conventional electronics circuits
