I-Silicon Photonics Technology

Njengoba inqubo ye-chip izoncipha kancane kancane, imiphumela ehlukahlukene ebangelwa ukuxhumeka iba yinto ebalulekile ethinta ukusebenza kwe-chip. Ukuxhumeka kwe-chip kungenye yamabhodlela wamanje wezobuchwepheshe, kanye nobuchwepheshe be-Opolon based Optoelectronics bangaxazulula le nkinga. I-Silicon Photonic Technology yi-Ukuxhumana kwe-OpticalUbuchwepheshe obusebenzisa ugongolo lwe-laser esikhundleni sesiginali ye-semiconductor yokuhambisa idatha. Kuyinto ubuchwepheshe obusha besizukulwane obususelwa ku-silicon kanye ne-silicon-based substrate izinto futhi isebenzisa inqubo ekhona ye-CMOS yeIdivayisi ye-Opticalukuthuthukiswa kanye nokuhlanganiswa. Inzuzo yayo enkulu ukuthi inezinga eliphakeme kakhulu lokudlulisa, elingenza isivinini sokudluliswa kwedatha phakathi kweprosesa izikhathi eziyi-100 noma ngokushesha, ngakho-ke ukusebenza kahle kakhulu, ngakho-ke kubhekwa njengesizukulwane esisha sobuchwepheshe be-semiconductor.

Ngokomlando, ama-Silicon Photonics asungulwe ku-SOI, kepha ama-soi wafers ayabiza futhi hhayi impahla engcono kakhulu yazo zonke imisebenzi ehlukene ye-Photonics. Ngasikhathi sinye, njengoba amanani wedatha anda, ukuguquguquka okusheshayo kwezinsimbi ze-silicon sekuba yi-bottleneck, ngakho-ke izinto ezintsha ezifana namafilimu we-LNO, i-inp, ama-polymers nezinto ze-plasma zenzelwe ukufezekisa ukusebenza okuphezulu.

Amandla amakhulu ama-Silicon Photonics alele ekuhlanganiseni imisebenzi eminingi kwiphakheji elilodwa nokwenza konke, njengengxenye ye-chip eyodwa noma isitaki se-chip, esebenzisa izikhungo ezifanayo ezisetshenziselwa ukwakha amadivaysi athuthukile (bheka umfanekiso 3). Ukwenza kanjalo kuzonciphisa izindleko zokudlulisa idatha ngaphezuluI-Optical Fibersfuthi wakhe amathuba ezinhlobonhlobo zezicelo ezintsha ezi-radical inizithombe, ukuvumela ukwakhiwa kwezinhlelo eziyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu ngezindleko ezinesizotha kakhulu.

Izicelo eziningi ziyavela ngezinhlelo eziyinkimbinkimbi ze-silicon photonic, okuvame kakhulu ukuxhumana kwedatha. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukuxhumana okuphezulu kwedijithali yedijithali yezinhlelo zokusebenza ezinhlobonhlobo, izinkinkwane eziyinkimbinkimbi zokushintsha kwezicelo zebanga elide, kanye nokuxhumana okuhambisanayo. Ngokungeziwe ekuxhumaneni kwedatha, inani elikhulu lezicelo ezintsha zalobu buchwepheshe ezihlolisiswa kuzo zombili zebhizinisi nasezemfundo. Lezi zinhlelo zokusebenza zifaka phakathi: I-Nanophotonics (Nano Opto-Mechanics) kanye ne-Physics yendaba ethosiwe, i-biosens, ama-nonlinear optics, amasistimu we-lidar, ukuhlanganiswa kwe-optical gyroscopes, i-RF ehlanganisiweI-OptoElectronics, okuhlanganisiwe transceivers, ukuxhumana okuhambisanayo, okushaImithombo ekhanyayo, ukuncishiswa komsindo we-laser, izinzwa zegesi, ama-wavenweth amade kakhulu ahlanganisiwe, ukucubungula isiginali esiphakeme kanye ne-microwave, ama-turric-radio avaliwe, kanye nokusebenza kwesiginali.
