Silicon Photonics is a technology that builds optical components such as modulators, waveguides and detectors on silicon chips using semiconductor manufacturing, integrating optics closely with electronics. It drives down the cost and power of high-speed transceivers and is the foundation for co-packaged optics, making it central to scaling data-center bandwidth to 800G, 1.6T and beyond.
