A photonic integrated circuit (PIC), as the name suggests, makes use of photons to carry data, as opposed to electronics that make use of electrons to do the same. A PIC essentially integrates two or more photonic functions to form an integrated optical circuit. Photons, with their attribute of traveling at the speed of light, have made the development of highly sophisticated optical chips a reality by improving the speed of data transfer. With a never-ending demand for high data speeds and the subsequent investments by companies to cater to this need, the global photonic IC market is expected to benefit immensely.
