Les circuits intégrés […] sont constitués d'une série de composants électroniques, tels que transistors, résistances et amplificateurs sur une plaquette semi-conductrice. La plupart des fonctionnalités en lien avec ces composants électriques peut être prise en charge par des composants photoniques, notamment des diodes laser, guides d'ondes, filtres et milieux de gain, pour former des circuits intégrés photoniques (CIP), dont le fonctionnement dépend de la lumière, et non de l'électricité […] 1, record 1, French, - circuit%20int%C3%A9gr%C3%A9%20photonique
