The promise of silicon photonics

18 Jun 2019
This article first appeared in the 2019 Physics World Focus on Optics & Photonics

Photonics-based computing uses less energy and can transmit data faster than conventional approaches, but the costs of manufacturing silicon integrated circuits with embedded photonic elements have held back progress. Scott Jordan outlines how improved optical positioning technologies could help

Cascade CM300xi-SiPh
Light work: FormFactor’s pioneering Cascade CM300xi-SiPh photonics-enabled system fully integrates PI’s Fast Multichannel Photonics Alignment engine to allow high-throughput, nano-precision optical probing of on-wafer silicon photonic devices without needing further customer development or engineering resources. (Formfactor)
The world’s appetite for data is growing exponentially, driven by applications ranging from social
