Photonic Integrated Circuits
Means: Full manipulation of light on chip for: -colour combination -optical signal processing (datacom, telecom) - beam shaping -sensing (biophotonics), etc.
Connection of chip to outside world through Fiber Arrays (FA’s)
Hybrid connection of external components (lightsources (lasers)), fast modulators) in standardized packages containing electronics

Photonic Integrated Circuits
3 mature standardized platforms commercially available through MPW services:
Indium Phosphide (InP) - TriPleX (Si3N4) - Silicon Photonics (SOI)
Therefore: Combine TriPleX with InP gain section yielding: Very high quality, widely tuneable lasers
- Ultra low loss - Applicable in almost all interesting wavelength regions - Reliable modulators (heaters, stress modulators) - But, not electro-optical, so no direct laser generation possible
Also high level hybrid integration with other gain materials (AlGaAs, GaN, etc.) is available

TriPleXTM platform
• Adjustable polarization properties (sensors telecom)
• Low optical attenuation
• Small bend radii (small footprint!)
• Design by geometry
• Silicon and glass compatible
• Spot size converters for low loss fiber chip coupling
