Key Terms

silicon photonics technical

Silicon photonics is the technology that uses tiny structures etched into silicon chips to generate, control and detect light for moving data and sensing, essentially putting optical fiber functions onto a computer chip. For investors, it matters because it can dramatically increase data speed and energy efficiency in data centers, telecom networks and advanced sensors, potentially lowering costs and enabling new products much like replacing many metal wires with faster, low-power optical highways.

VCSELs technical

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are a type of semiconductor laser that emits light perpendicular to the chip surface, like tiny, highly efficient flashlights built into a microchip. Investors track VCSELs because they are widely used in data centers, fiber optics, sensing, facial recognition, and LiDAR, where they can deliver high speed, low power use, and easy mass production—factors that affect device performance, costs, and market demand.
