Silicon Photonics - The Concept

• Silicon Photonics: Wafer-Scale Manufacturing of Optical Devices

– Single-chip silicon integration of optical components

– Considerably fewer components, much smaller size, lower power

– Reduced manufacturing complexity and cost

– Applying Moore’s Law to Optics
