The working principle of silicon optical chip:
Silicon optical chip is an integrated circuit made of silicon optical materials and devices through a special process, which is mainly composed of light source, modulator, detector, passive waveguide device, etc., integrating a variety of optical devices on the same silicon substrate. The silicon optical chip has the characteristics of high integration, low cost and higher transmission bandwidth. This silicon wafer-based laser technology could make photonics more widely used in computers, as large-scale silicon-based manufacturing techniques can dramatically reduce costs
