Silicon photonics is poised to bring photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technologies to a range of solutions in imaging and sensing, providing the advantages of increased power efficiency, size reductions, and lower-cost packaging. Compared to conventional silicon photonics architectures, our platform uses larger, multi-micron waveguides, and holds the key to optimizing PIC performance, power efficiency, manufacturability and versatility. Our technology brings performance advantages such as low propagation losses, efficient integration of III-V actives, and high power handling, and we have demonstrated photonic integrated circuits with high levels of integration with a full suite of devices including hybrid lasers, compact arrayed waveguide grating filters, high-speed modulators and detectors and efficient out-couplers. We will discuss applications ranging from consumer devices to healthcare to automotive.
