Photonic IC Modules Outside the Telecom Window

Telecom and datacom applications have the lion’s share of the integrated photonics market. However, the needs of their devices have developed technologies which can simultaneously serve other applications. Low loss, broadband, compact photonic devices have been designed for usage in the life sciences, quantum processing, chemical sensing, and measurement. Photonic waveguide platforms optimised towards the relevant wavelengths in each application, as well as a creative circuit design approach and hybrid integration of chips and interfaces, significantly expand the reach of what is commonly understood as the function of silicon photonics.
