Photonic Integrated Circuits: Enabling high density data transmission at the speed of light
 
Semiconductor chips are one of the key technology developments that have ushered in the modern age. Without them, mobile phones, laptops and the internet - amongst other things - would not be possible; humanity would be stuck at something of a technological impasse, with the inability to easily communicate over long distances and freely disseminate large amounts of information.
 
Most semiconductor chips in existence are entirely electrical; they are little packages consisting of billions of transistors ('on or off' switches) that can be used to store and process data, where electricity is used to operate them. A photonic integrated circuit, rather than relying on electrons for the operation of the circuit, utilizes photons, the quanta of light. While the architecture of a PIC is somewhat different to an electrical IC, PICs can and have been created by leveraging the same manufacturing processes as for the more mature electrical IC industry. By virtue of their physical properties, photons do not experience resistance in the same way that electrons do. This is especially beneficial for long-distance communications, where sending data via electrical means is unwieldly due to the resistance in the conductive material. The use of light to transmit and receive data has enabled a revolution in the communications industry, an industry that is continuing to develop products to enable higher data transmission rates.
 
Four key market drivers for PIC development. These are due to growing data demands across multiple market segments and applications, such as communications and networking, AI/ML algorithm, runs, and HPC.

400G and beyond: Photonics and the communications industry
 
The use of PICs for data communications - where they are employed principally in optical transceivers to provide data links between hubs - is a much more mature application than any other. Reasons for this include the inefficiency of electrical systems to achieve long-distance, high-bandwidth data transmissions, limitations that photonic systems do not suffer from. The development of fiber optics that allows for light to be confined and transmitted has enabled communications via light to become prevalent. Added to being able to leverage existing complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) manufacturing processes, PICs are a natural solution for growing data demands.
 
A representative example of the market players in the communications industry, split out by geography, is given below. Of these, six are examined in detail in the report, where their financial data and technology offering are reviewed: Intel, with its first 100G silicon photonics optical transceiver being released in 2016, is the industry leader for silicon pluggable optics modules; Lumentum designs and manufactures coherent silicon photonics pluggables (up to 400G), as well as tunable lasers and optoelectronic components; Coherent (where II-VI Incorporated acquired Coherent in July 2022) manufactures optical transceivers and provides III-V wafer epitaxy services; Infinera harnesses its Indium Phosphide fabrication facilities to manufacture optical engines, used across its hardware; Cisco has a considerable range of optical transceivers, from 1G up to coherent 400G; and Ciena's networking hardware is driven by its WaveLogic family of chips, comprising (in the case of the WaveLogic 5 Nano) a 7 nm CMOS Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and a silicon photonics sub-assembly.

Fertile ground for start-ups: AI acceleration and power savings
 
The key market drivers shown above have given rise to a number of start-up companies that aim to outperform market incumbents in at least one key metric.
 
For example, Ayar Labs is focused on the I/O bottleneck issue, where data is moved in and out of a chip/chiplet at a slower rate than the rate with which processing occurs. This creates a backlog in the data stream, where processing/storage conducted in other chips/chiplets is stalled while they await the data. Ayar Labs' optical I/O solution TeraPHY is developed in a high-volume 45 nm GlobalFoundries process, where it promises to deliver up to 1000x bandwidth density improvements at 0.1x the power compared to electrical I/O.
 
In addition to those looking to capture a portion of the communications market through technological innovations in materials and I/O, this report reviews the prospective offerings of start-ups focused on other applications. One example is Lightmatter, another US-based start-up focused on utilizing photonics for AI acceleration, where its silicon photonics design that enables inference on advanced AI models is realized in its Envise product. Another is Scantinel Photonics, which is developing a LiDAR-on-Chip that utilizes FMCW detection at a range of over 300 m.
 
This report features 30 profiles for start-ups, 6 of which are developing products for agricultural applications, 5 for biomedical applications, 3 for automotive, 2 for environmental, 2 for smart factories, cities and living, and 12 for communications and information. It should be noted that some products are suitable for multiple applications. However, for the purposes of accurate enumeration, the companies have not been double-counted.

This is figure is composed almost entirely of PIC LiDAR sales, an enabler for autonomous driving and Smart Cities.
 
The third chapter covers technology, wherein the technology review begins at a basic physical level with understanding electrical ICs. Photonic ICs are contextualized with respect to electrical ICs, and some of the structures used for chip (and modular) design are discussed. The review then goes into industry-specific processes, such as packaging, wafer production, and design processes. While these processes are not specific to the data communications market, it should be noted that we often keep this market in mind when discussing technology, due to its importance.
 
The fourth chapter covers PIC applications, where the technology requirements for optical transceivers, photonic processors (to achieve neuromorphic architectures), and quantum computing using photonics, are all reviewed. The key market drivers for PIC development are also outlined, these being: higher bandwidth through a single channel, low latency, high power efficiency (with PICs operating at the lowest possible power) and scalability that allows for low cost, especially for the end-user.
 
The final chapter covers the Players and Products, primarily within the communications market. Seven established companies are reviewed, where they have been chosen due to their impact on the data communications market segment.
