Photonic Integrated Circuit Applications. Systems into photonic circuits im proving in performance and robust ness while decreasing cost and weight. In addition a photonic integrated circuit can remove background noise from an rf signal with unprecedented precision which will increase the signal to noise performance and make possible new benchmarks in low power performance.
Using the ghz precision signal processing of photonic integrated circuits radiofrequency rf signals can be manipulated with high fidelity to add or drop multiple channels of radio spread across an ultra broadband frequency range. Pics extend their capability to quantum computing as it requires separation of optical modes. Traditional applications have been telecom and datacom components but as technology matures in these markets new emerging applications arise on healthcare and biochemistry sensing.
In light based computing the devices are used to minutarise processing nodes.

Using the ghz precision signal processing of photonic integrated circuits radiofrequency rf signals can be manipulated with high fidelity to add or drop multiple channels of radio spread across an ultra broadband frequency range. A photonic integrated circuit pic or integrated optical circuit is a device that integrates multiple at least two photonic functions and as such is similar to an electronic integrated circuit the major difference between the two is that a photonic integrated circuit provides functions for information signals imposed on optical wavelengths typically in the visible spectrum or near infrared. In fibre optic communication photonic devices are used to multiplex and demultiplex wavelength division multiplex wdm carrier signals.
