Silicon Photonics : Digitalization is One of The Most Effective Tools for Sustainability

 

The growth of data in the 21st century has become inexorable. With data being touted as the new oil, its storage is also becoming increasingly popular in this new era. Alongside storage, the computation and networking of data are also opening up new possibilities. Organizations are utilizing Big Data to gain agility, identify loopholes, maximize their efficiency, and transform businesses. The digital world that is rapidly gaining momentum has shown increased demand for online applications, data transfer, and data storage, among others. Several banks, private and public organizations, and universities have now started to own large data centers that are connected to secure networks. The data centers available today have enormous computational power, processing capability, and storage facility. However, with evolving customer needs, the need for insight through the computation of complex data within a short period of time has led to new technologies being adopted across data centers. Especially during the ongoing situation of COVID-19, when digitalization is one of the most effective tools for sustainability, the requirement of effective data centers and higher speed interconnects have become a necessity. The ubiquitous usage of data and its transportation to different access points, servers, and data centers entail fast and uninterrupted connections.

BIS Report on Silicon Photonics Market

The use of fiber optic technology to replace copper interconnects has been the norm in the data center environment to facilitate faster data transmission. However, the distance-cost crossover from copper to an optic solution has been a debatable subject for a long time. While traditional methods, involving copper wires, have been improved further to maintain their relevance, the transmission of heavy datasets (>100 Gigabytes) has posed major limitations to the traditional methods due to the low bandwidth and high attenuation of copper wires. The silicon photonic technology has emerged as a potential solution to overcome the limitations of traditional methods, and several companies have started investing in the technology in order to develop passive optical alignment and effective integration at a lower cost.

Personal Care Ingredients Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report 2019-2029

The introduction and proliferation of bio-based ingredients in several industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, has been transforming the manufacturing landscape since 2000. Growing consumer inclination toward the adoption of bio-based products due to rising health and environmental concerns is driving the demand for bio-based ingredients in the cosmetics and personal care products. Besides, awareness among consumers regarding the harmful effects of synthetic ingredients chemicals has grown rapidly over the past years. In addition, the availability of green raw materials has also urged large cosmetic firms to develop bio-based cosmetic products. However, limited availability of raw material, due to erratic weather conditions and stringent environmental regulations, can pose substantial hurdles in the production of bio-based ingredients. Thus, leading companies have been focusing on developing new and sustainable ways of producing the ingredi...

Understanding How the Human Centric Lighting Market is Segmented

Lighting plays a significant role in the lives of people, it has the potential to bring about positive changes in people’s behaviour. In the year 1989, a research was carried out and it proved that natural daylight can trigger the production of melatonin and serotonin, two of the most important hormones in the human body. These two hormones are responsible for inducing peaceful sleep and happiness in people. This led to the research and development in the field of human centric lighting (HCL). According to a report published by the BIS Research , the HCL market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 37.2% and 35.2% both in terms of volume and value during the forecast period (2018 – 2024). The HCL is segmented by the component, end-user and by region. Request the Sample: Human Centric Lighting Market The human centric lighting market can be further segmented by component, type, end-users, and region. The components or the controls are further segmented as microprocessors & microco...

Liquid Biopsy, North America, and Lung Cancer Occupying a Major Share in the Market

  Owing to the market availability of large number of liquid biopsy technologies, the liquid biopsy segment currently accounts for a dominating share in the global minimally invasive biopsy technologies market . However, the market growth in the segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for liquid biopsy and the strong product pipeline. For instance, CNI Second Opinion by Chronix Biomedical is presently under development and is expected to get launched during the forecast period 2019-2030. Owing to a widespread market presence of leading players and the huge prevalence of cancer, North America presently holds a major share in the global minimally invasive biopsy technologies market. According to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), with an estimated 2 million cases in 2018, lung cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer in men and third-most commonly occurring cancer in women. Due to the widespread presence of cancer, the manufacturers including Biocept, Inc., Chron...
