Limitations of silicon photonics can be overcome by hybrid integration or by photonic multi-chip systems. We give an overview on recent progress regarding silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) integration as well as multi-chip integration enabled by photonic wire bonding.
Organic materials combined with strongly-guiding silicon waveguides have led to a new generation of low-power, high-speed linear-electro optic modulators. In this paper we review the so-called silicon-organic hybrid approach and the more recent plasmonic successor.
Blue Morpho butterflies are well-known for their blue irradiance. This famous blue reflection originates from nanostructures in the scales of their wings [1, 2]. These optical active structures integrate three design principles leading to the wide angle reflection: alternative lamellae layers, Christmas tree like shape, and zigzag pattern of the ridges. In order to study their individual effects rigorously,...
All-optical wavelength conversion of 56 Gbit/s NRZ-DQPSK based on four-wave mixing is demonstrated in a silicon-organic hybrid strip waveguide operated in TM mode.
A cost-effective route to build electrically as well as optically controlled modulators in silicon photonics is reviewed. The technology enables modulation at bit rates beyond 100 Gbit/s. This platform relies on the well-established silicon-based complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor processing technology for fabricating silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides, while an organic cladding layer adds...
Silicon signal processing at bitrates beyond 100 Gb/s is demonstrated. A new enabling platform is reviewed, which relies both on silicon-based CMOS technology for waveguide fabrication, and on an organic cladding providing nonlinearity for switching.
We demonstrate a silicon-organic hybrid waveguide fabricated by vapor deposition of a small molecule with a large third-order nonlinearity on a silicon-on-oxide slotted waveguide. The resulting organic cladding has a high third-order susceptibility, high optical quality, and it homogenously fills the slot where the optical mode propagates.
