Silicon Photonics: A Review
Previously, researchers were trying to replace the copper wires with the optical technology. They used photons instead of electrons to carry out the data within machines. The future of IC industry depends upon the speed and bandwidth requirements, but in metallic interconnections we have constraints on speed as well as bandwidth. With the advancement in computer technology we are now more depen...
متن کاملSilicon photonics technology: past, present and future
Due to recent investments by government and industry, silicon-based photonics has a chance of becoming “the” mainstream photonics technology. This paper presents a survey of recent results found in journal articles and conference proceedings Emerging trends in silicon-based photonic components (waveguides, ultrafast modulators, switches, light sources, detectors, direct bandgap SiGeSn/GeSn devi...
متن کاملMoore's Law in CLEAR Light
The inability of Moore’s Law and other figure-of-merits (FOMs) to accurately explain the technology development of the semiconductor industry demands a holistic merit to guide the industry. Here we introduce a FOM termed CLEAR that accurately postdicts technology developments since the 1940’s until today, and predicts photonics as a logical extension to keep-up the pace of information-handling ...
متن کاملRecent progress in semiconductor excitable lasers for photonic spike processing
Recently, there has been tremendous interest in excitable optoelectronic devices and in particular excitable semiconductor lasers that could potentially enable unconventional processing approaches beyond conventional binary-logic-based approaches. In parallel, there has been renewed investigation of non-von Neumann architectures driven in part by incipient limitations in aspects of Moore’s law....
