Abstract
Optical networks are subject to everlasting striving for reduced cost, size, weight, power consumption, and continuous demand to increase data bandwidth. Emerging applications like optical beam steering, computing, and switching require thousands of integrated photonic components. Meeting these requirements necessitates miniaturized and efficient components with high parallelism. Cutting-edge advances in next-generation photonic integration technology developed at the Eindhoven University of Technology provide an unprecedented density of integration by integrating monolithically building blocks in a sub-micron-thick InP membrane. This technology offers a fully comprehensive set of active and passive functions including detection, amplification, and lasers that can be seamlessly combined with nanophotonic components. This technology is supported by an open-access PDK and accessible via IMOS Nanophotonics multi-project wafer runs.
