Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) is an emerging technology that uses crystalline semiconductor wafers as the platform for the integration of active and passive photonic circuits along with electronic components on a single microchip. Silicon photonics is the platform of choice for scalability, low cost, and functional integration. With the necessary expertise, the technology enables innovative solutions utilizing silicon optical circuits and micro-optics while allowing the optimal integration of controlled electronics and system packaging.
Our group is focusing on developing the new generation of silicon photonic circuits, which include integrated laser and microcombs, ultra-low loss waveguide, broad-spectrum operation, and low power consumption.
