FaceID on smartphones, LiDAR for self-driving cars, and high-resolution OLED displays. 4. The Future: Integrated Photonics

To build a photonic system, you generally need three things: Optoelectronics & Photonics: Principles & Pract...

Just as the "silicon chip" revolutionized computing by shrinking giant transistors onto a tiny wafer, is now doing the same for light. We are moving toward "Light Chips" that process data at the speed of light with much less heat than traditional electronic processors. FaceID on smartphones, LiDAR for self-driving cars, and

Photodiodes and sensors that catch light and turn it back into a digital signal for a computer to read. 3. Real-World Applications FaceID on smartphones
