Photonics Devices and System Overview
[attachment=23663]
Photonics" comes from "photon" which is the smallest unit of light just as an electron is the smallest unit of electricity. Photonics is the generation, process and manipulation of photon to achieve a certain function.
Introduction
Photonic integration has a very long history dating back to the
original paper by Miller in 1969 [1]. It is interesting to note that
this paper predates the first CW semiconductor laser [2]. Fig. 1
traces the history of photonic integration from the perspective of
active components integrated onto an InP substrate [3-17].
first give a historical overview
of the development of complex Photonic ICs, up to the Large Scale
PICs that have been developed by Infinera and that we consider as
a breakthrough in the application of complex PICs.
