Optical Switching And the ultimate goal, light on a chip, is still in the future: lightreading.com Tsunami is joining a growing band of vendors developing chips that incorporate multiple optical devices on the same piece of substrate. Other players include Bookham Technology PLC (LSE: BHM; Nasdaq: BKHM), Lightwave Microsystems Corp., Lumenon Innovative Lightwave Technology Inc., Kymata Ltd., Nanovation Technologies Inc., and Zenastra Photonics Inc. The big idea is that eventually they’ll be able to make complete subsystems on a chip – which will slash costs and development times in much the same way as integrated circuits revolutionized the electronics industry 30 years ago. Right now, however, it’s early days. Most vendors are focusing on incorporating multiple passive devices (ones that require no electrical power) on a single chip. Mixing passive and active (powered) devices in the same material is challenging, as is mixing optical and electronic devices – the ultimate goal.
