[1] Silicon photonics
Technology in which an optical device is configured on a silicon substrate. By using silicon, optical circuits can be made smaller, enabling large-scale integration. It also has other merits, such as the ability to configure optical circuits and electronic circuits in one unit, and lower manufacturing costs.
[2] Gbps
Gigabits (billion bits) per second.
