Packaging and Testing Roadmap for Photonic Integration

The rapid developments in generic integration technology have led to a dramatic reduction of the cost of PIC development and manufacturing at low and medium volumes. This has not yet been followed by a similar development in the cost of packaging and testing, however. Continue reading “Packaging and Testing Roadmap for Photonic Integration”

Comparison between InP and Silicon Photonics

The most important qualities when comparing InP and Silicon Photonics PICs are functionality, performance and cost. Functionality and performance: The fundamental and key advantage brought by InP is the ability to monolithically integrate compact and efficient optical amplifiers.
