Photonics is rapidly transforming electronics, opening doors to faster, more energy-efficient and robust systems. At the heart of this transformation is CMOS technology—the backbone of modern electronics. CMOS chips are used in everything from smartphones to supercomputers, thanks to their low power consumption and scalability. Integrating photonics directly onto CMOS circuits takes this a step further by combining the precision of light-based systems with the reliability of CMOS electronics.
