An introduction to InP-based generic integration technology

Abstract: Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are considered as the way to make photonic systems or subsystems cheap and ubiquitous. PICs still are several orders of magnitude more expensive than their microelectronic counterparts, which has restricted their application to a few niche markets.

“…Figure 5 reveals a similar development in microphotonics, albeit in an early stage and with a much larger scatter than its microelectronic counterpart. If we restrict ourselves to devices based on AWGs, with a more or less comparable technology (AWGs with integrated amplifiers and/or detectors) most of the outliers disappear, however, which suggests that photonic integration is taking a similar development path to microelectronics, probably driven by the same improvements in process equipment [5].…”
