Advantages of optoelectronic chips: to improve computing power and reduce energy consumption, optoelectronic chips using light as a signal carrier has become a promising alternative to traditional electronic chips. Optoelectronic chip and electronic chip difference: optoelectronic chip and electronic chip have completely different logic. For electronic chips, the process (the smallest possible size to produce a chip) is very important, from 28 nanometers to 14 nanometers, 7 nanometers, 3 nanometers, every step forward costs a great deal of money and resources. Compared with traditional electronic chips, optoelectronic chips use light as a signal carrier, which has higher computing power and lower energy consumption. In the case of a optoelectronic chip, a single calculation can be performed when photons travel across the chip at the speed of light.

Applications of optoelectronic chips: there are several large potential applications of optoelectronic chips, one is in the field of lidar, especially with the popularity of unmanned vehicles. It is very important that the cost is low and the performance of Lidar can meet the requirement of vehicle. On the other side of the spectrum is optical computing. DM hopes that in the future, the traditional GPU and CPU will be connected to each other by light instead, which will greatly reduce power consumption and increase computing power.
