Photonic and optoelectronic chips

Photonic and optoelectronic chips use light instead of electrical signals to transmit, process, and detect information, enabling ultra-high-speed, low-latency, and energy-efficient data movement. By integrating lasers, modulators, waveguides, and photodetectors with electronic control circuits, these chips overcome the bandwidth and power limitations of conventional interconnects. They are increasingly adopted in data centers, AI accelerators, high-speed networking, and advanced sensing systems. Strong investment from semiconductor leaders, rapid patent activity, and growing demand for scalable AI and cloud infrastructure are accelerating commercialization across global markets.
