Silicon photonics market entering large growth driven by 5G, large data centers, real time cloud-computing, big data analytics, Exascale supercomputers , Military and Aerospace

​Silicon photonics refers to the application of photonic systems using silicon as an optical medium. Silicon photonics (SiPh) is a material platform from which photonic integrated circuits (PICs) can be made. It uses silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers as the semiconductor substrate material and most of the standard CMOS manufacturing processes can be applied.   …
