Optical integrated circuits application in medicine

ASlC is the "Mantra" among today's electronic engineers. To make a major impact in the integrated circuit arena, it is essential to find a way to add functionally to silicon devices. Such is the aim of the optical application specific integrated circuit (OASIC) research. The photosensitive property of silicon is used in advance imaging technology through "smart pixel" sensors. The heart of an OASIC chip is poly-si because it is a wavelength-sensitive reflector, absorber and transmitter of light.
