Allied Market Research’s new report titled, “Global Silicon
Photonics Sensor Market (Products, Application, Geography) - Size, Share,
Global Trends, Company Profiles, Demand, Insights, Analysis, Research, Report,
Opportunities, Segmentation and Forecast, 2012 – 2020” analyzes the global
silicon market to provide a useful piece of information for the related
businesses. It gives insights into the global market trends, applications,
factors of growth, forecast, etc.
Silicon Photonics involve the study of photonic systems using
silicon as the optical medium to process, generate, transmit and manipulate
data with a higher efficiency between microchips. Silicon photonics technology
transmits data with faster speed, consuming less power and low cost. Thus,
manufactures across the globe are adopting this technology in order to increase
processing and computational abilities of the data centers.
High reflective index in silicon photonics make it difficult to engineer small devices. Also, some of this technology (silicon photonics)
based devices would experience problems related to thermal effect.
Aforementioned factors could hamper the adoption of this technology. However,
to maintain the competitive edge, manufactures are in inclined to invest in the
silicon photonics technology.
Key players in the market are Hewlett-Packard Co, Finisar
corporation, IBM Corp, Phoenix Software,
Oracle Corporation, Luxtera, Inc., Das Photonics, 3s Photonics, Mellanox
Technologies, and Infinera, Inc.
