Silicon photonics (SiPh) is a technology that combines electronics and photonics, miniaturizing optical circuits into a small chip and using optical waveguides to transmit light signals within the chip. The increasing bandwidth demands brought on by AI are now. Silicon photonics is the study and application of photonic systems which use silicon as an optical medium. The silicon is usually patterned with sub-micrometre precision, into microphotonic components. These operate in the infrared, most commonly at the 1. This technology has gained significant traction, especially with the advent of 800G and 1. Unlike traditional chips that rely on electrical signals for data transmission, silicon photonics uses photons as the medium, transmitting data through optical waveguides. These are the pluggable optical modules that convert electrical signals to optical signals and back again. They are inserted into the network device and terminate the fiber optic cabling that runs throughout the network's physical infrastructure. Unlike the ASIC and CPU chips that act as the brains. In response to this challenge, experts have begun exploring new approaches such as integrating different functional ICs into a single chip and adopting 3D stacking packaging technology.
