Caltech has developed a tiny silicon chip called nanophotonic coherent imager (NCI) that uses an array of LIDAR (a type of LiDAR used for light detection and ranging) sensors that are similar to LiDAR and can sense the distance and size of an object. Incorporating this technology into a one-square-millimeter chip, implanted in a mobile phone is no longer a dream
The optical chip is used to complete the photoelectric signal conversion, equivalent to the information transfer station, it belongs to a core device on the mobile device, the working principle is to integrate the luminous properties of indium phosphide and the optical routing capability of silicon into a single chip, through the application of voltage to indium phosphide when the light beam generated, can drive other silicon photonic devices to operate.
