True. But short wavelengths are inappropriate for these kinds of devices generally. ~1300nm is the sweet spot for silicon photonics.

- analog31 5y agoYeah, that's actually a hassle for miniaturizing optics because at any given wavelength, you can make optics out of silicon, or detectors, but not both. The IR detector materials all have their tradeoffs, of course.
