According to the latest research, the global Silicon Photonics market size was valued at USD 1250.79 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 20.27% during the forecast period, reaching USD 3786.02 million by 2028.
Silicon photonics is a novel technology with the aim of developing silicon-based optical devices. Owing to the availability of large established silicon fabrication infrastructure and the relatively low cost and high abundance of this material, there are high expectations in the semiconductor industry from this technology for utilization in the communication, healthcare, and defense sectors.
High Speed Optical Connectivity for 5G
New 5G networks will set the stage for data-rich services, sophisticated cloud apps, and machine-to-machine communications, delivered faster and with lower latency than ever. 5G will transform our lives by helping deliver a connected society with smart cities, self-driving cars, and new industrial efficiencies. For this to happen, networks must become faster, smarter, and more agile to handle the unprecedented increase in volume and complexity of data traffic as more devices become connected and new digital services are offered.
Restraints
power-hungry
Historically, one of the most serious challenges facing the developers of silicon photonics has been the fact that laser devices, which generate the IR beams that carry the data, are power-hungry. In addition, silicon has not proven effective for lasing because of thermal dissipation within the material. For these reasons, external lasers have been required in the manufacture of optical computers using silicon chips. Researchers are developing methods of overcoming problems that prevent the use of silicon, however. For example, combining silicon with indium phosphide improves its IR-transmission capacity. Electric current is applied to the indium phosphide through metal electrodes, causing photon emissions that can be confined and concentrated in a silicon cavity, producing coherent IR.
Opportunities
Production technology improvement and product upgrade
With the improvement of the technology of various suppliers, the production technology of Silicon Photonics is also constantly improving. The current Silicon Photonics have higher production costs and post-maintenance costs. The development of a wider range of applications, higher product performance and more affordable products will be one of the growth opportunities in this market in the future.
