A photonic integrated circuit or PIC is a device that integrates a number of photonic functions and is analogous to an electronic integrated circuit. PIC is a breakthrough technology as it uses photons as a data carrier rather than electrons. As light travels at a high speed, photonic integrated technology is extensively used for transferring huge amount of data at high speed. Hence, PIC technology based products are largely used in optical fiber communication.  The photonic integrated circuit market is growing at a phenomenal rate due to the significant improvements in power consumption, system size, rel...
