Heterogeneous integration-enabled energy-efficient optical communication and computing (Invited Paper)
27 January 2025 • 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM PST | Moscone South, Room 307 (Level 3)
Abstract
Energy efficiency is a major metric for both photonic devices and integrated photonic circuit (PIC) system. Compact device size and high integration density, two intrinsic merits of silicon photonics, don’t necessarily translate into high energy efficiency. In this talk, we will attempt to discuss how heterogeneous integration innovations from material, device physics and architecture perspectives are able to enable low power device and large-scale PIC operation for both optical commutations and computing applications.
