Advancing Scalable Photonic Integration: Heterogeneous Integration of Active Components for Next-Generation Applications

This presentation explores how heterogeneous integration is revolutionizing photonic integrated circuits (PICs) by combining diverse materials with active components. We demonstrate advances in wafer-scale integration, enabling high-speed modulators and photodetectors on low-loss passive platforms for applications in space communication, quantum technologies, LIDAR, and biosensors.
