With the development of the optoelectronic semiconductor industry, as the core components in the upstream of the industrial chain, although compared with the large-scale integrated circuit that has formed a high degree of industrial chain division, the optical chip industry has not yet formed a mature design, OEMpackage and test industry chain.
However, electronic devices (optical chips) have been widely used in communication, industry, consumption and other fields. In order to better help you choose a suitable optical chip cooperative enterprise, this article will introduce you to the top 10 Chinese optical chip companies in China.
What is an optical chip?
A photonic chip is a carrier that uses light waves ( electromagnetic waves ) as information transmission or data calculations , that is, the modulation, transmission, and demodulation of optical and electrical signals are integrated on the same substrate or chip .
Compared with electronic integrated circuits or electrical interconnection technologies , photonic integrated circuits and optical interconnections can achieve lower transmission loss , wider transmission bandwidth, smaller time delay , and stronger ability to resist electromagnetic interference.
