Silicon photonics technology is gaining ground as a low cost alternative
technology that can address speed and bulk data transfer challenges faced by
microelectronics. The silicon photonics market is in its infancy and is
expected to be commercialized by 2016.

Amongst all the silicon photonics products, in 2010, the wavelength
division multiplex filters contributed $35,212.3 thousand to the global
silicon photonics market. This is mainly due to early commercialization and
extensive usage in optical switches and transceivers devices. However,
silicon photonics LED market is expected to grow with relatively high CAGR of
87.6% from 2010 to 2015 due to an increasing need of efficient light source
in small distance communication networks.

At present, Northern America dominates the silicon photonics market
generating $59,667 thousand in 2010 and is expected to reach $849,587
thousand in 2015 with a CAGR of 70.1% from 2010-2015.
