Photonic integrated circuit
OverviewHistoryComparison to electronic integrationExamples of photonic integrated circuitsApplicationsTypes of fabrication and materialsCurrent status
A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) or integrated optical circuit is a microchip containing two or more photonic components that form a functioning circuit. This technology detects, generates, transports, and processes light. Photonic integrated circuits use photons (or particles of light) as opposed to electrons that are used by electronic integrated circuits. The major difference between the two is that a photonic integrated circuit provides functions for information signals imposed on optical wavelengths typically in the
