Monolithic, Heterogeneous and Hybrid Photonic Integration – There is a role for all
Monolithic, Heterogeneous and Hybrid Photonic Integration – There is a role for all
Abstract: Photonic integration has been at the center of photonic activity for several years. Over this period, great strides have been made to increase the integration density and integrated chip functionality. This talk will work its way up from the drivers for photonic integration – why do we need Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)? What are... Read more
