Abstract

The fast-maturing photonic integration technology is calling for a versatile platform that supports both active and passive functions as well as high scalability through component miniaturization. Indium phosphide (InP) has long been recognized for its ability to deliver a comprehensive suite of photonic components. InP membrane technology has emerged as a next-generation solution that could unite the functional completeness with high scalability. This paper describes recent advancements in the InP-membrane-on-Si (IMOS) platform, which supports high-performance passives, polarization and mode handling, native light sources, amplifiers, modulators and detectors, and novel material integration.
