An article “Thinking beyond conventional silicon photonics” by Professor Sasan Fathpourhas been published in the July issue of The Photonic IC (PIC) Magazine.
A variety of silicon-based technologies have given rise to expansive opportunities for photonic integrated circuits. While silicon enabled many photonic product developments, there is no one-size-fits-all approach; hybrid modules and the benefits of III-V technologies can resolve issues that elude all-silicon designs.
