Photoelectric chips generally refer to photonic chips.
The researchers combined the light-emitting properties of indium phosphide and the optical routing capabilities of silicon into a single hybrid chip. When a voltage is applied to indium phosphide, light enters the silicon wafer's waveguide, producing a sustained laser beam that drives other silicon photonic devices. 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.
Intel believes that although the technology is still a long way from commercialization, it believes that in the future, dozens or even hundreds of hybrid silicon lasers will be integrated into a single silicon-based chip, along with other silicon photonics components. This marks the beginning of low-cost mass production of highly integrated silicon photonic chips.
Photoelectric chip is A semiconductor device, used for optical signal conversion and processing, it is usually composed of optical detector, amplifier, filter, A\/D conversion circuit, digital signal processor and other functional modules.
Photoelectric chip with optical, electrical and semiconductor and other characteristics, can achieve high speed, large dynamic range, low photocurrent, low noise and other excellent performance, so in optical communication, optical fiber sensing, medical, security and other fields have a wide range of applications. It is worth mentioning that the photoelectric chip is also an important part of the future Internet of things, 5G communication and other emerging technologies, its research and development and application will be able to promote the continuous development and growth of the entire optoelectronics industry chain.
Usually, photoelectric chips are semiconductor photoelectric components that use light as an energy source to generate electricity. The chip uses micro and nano processing technology to integrate a large number of optical quantum devices on the chip, which has high integration, strong accuracy and good compatibility.
