Growing innovations in silicon photonics is driving the growth of the photonics industry round the globe in the forecast period.

The silicon integrated circuit and the semiconductor laser are the two most important inventions of the 20th century which form the basis of silicon photonics technology. Replacements have been made where tiny silicon chips are used in place of copper and it consists of built-in Indium phosphide (InP) lasers that are capable of data transfer at a speed of up to 100 Gbps by using optical fibers and is supporting the world’s unsatisfying data demand. In addition to providing optical connections, silicon photonics is also allowing the computers to exascale their computing speed.

Until now, the method of attaching the laser light sources to the silicon was done in a complicated manner, however, a novel approach has been designed which is currently in the research phase. The process for the deposition of lasers onto the silicon chip makes use of nanolasers which can be directly deposited onto the chip and also shows a great site-selective integration on the silicon wafer. Such novel approaches in the field of silicon photonics promises for the processing which is equivalent to the speed of light with greater energy efficiency as well. Hence, rising innovations in silicon photonics have a high impact in promoting the growth of the global photonics market.

The use of photonics for wider end-use industrial applications is propelling the growth of the global photonics market in the forecast period.

The photonics technology finds immense utility in a range of operations and is proving to be a versatile technology with time. Additionally, the technology is gaining popularity which is poised to provide connectivity everywhere possible with continuous improvements in issues like bandwidth, power dissipation, and signal integrity. Some of the anticipated potential applications of this enabling technology include augmented reality goggles, lab-on-chip applications, portable real-time analysis biosensors for molecular and cellular analysis, development of high-speed supercomputers known as quantum computing as well. Industries like aerospace and defense are also showing interest in silicon photonics due to the reduced-size, less power consumption and low weight of these devices.

Also, these devices are highly immune to electromagnetic interference which may otherwise cause a device to underperform. With the advent of the designing of autonomous vehicles, the photonics technology will provide benefits in activities like car-to-car communication, navigation, and mapping. Hence, the potential use of photonics in varied industries is fueling the growth of the global photonics market in the forecast period and in the upcoming years.
