Abstract

There are many indications, that the 21st century will be the century of optics and photonics. In the last century, microelectronics established many technologies, which show increasing impact on the field of optical technologies like silicon photonics or optoelectronics. However, the success of microelectronics was accompanied by the rise of information technologies and their impact on the optical technologies could be even more significant. Digitalisation leads to many disruptive developments without classical predecessors.
