Miniaturising Optics with Photonic Integrated Circuits - Ep 7 - Rays and Waves

In this episode, we explore the rise of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), which aim to compress the sprawling optical setups found on lab benches into compact, chip-scale systems. These integrated platforms are becoming foundational for technologies like high-speed data communication, LIDAR, optical quantum computing, AR/VR, and biotech diagnostics—where size, modularity, and manufacturability are critical.

We take a closer look at how PICs are built, what makes them so transformative, and why the market is growing at a rapid pace. Whether you're an engineer, researcher, or just fascinated…
