Comparing PIC Platforms: What’s the Best Fit?
Photonic integrated circuits have applications from the data center to spaceflight. Given the diverse range of capabilities of these technologies, it’s no surprise that a wide range of manufacturing platforms have arisen, ranging from relatively established silicon-on-insulator to more emerging materials like thin-film lithium niobate. In this presentation, technology market research specialists IDTechEx will outline insights from its research on PIC materials platforms, providing insight into its forecasts for the next decade and suggesting platform-application fits for a wide range of PIC production processes.
