PIC Technology

Enabling the Digital Optical Network

Large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs) represent a significant technology innovation that simplifies optical system design, reduces space and power consumption, and improves reliability. In addition, by lowering the cost of optical-to-electrical-to-optical (OEO) conversion in optical networks, they provide a transformational opportunity to embrace the use of electronic ICs and system software in a "digital" optical network to simplify network operations and enable flexible and fast delivery of differentiated transport services.
