  Washington DC (SPX) Apr 04, 2017 Contrary to the tremendous success story of electronic integration, photonic integration is still in its infancy. One the most serious obstacles it faces is the need to use a variety of materials to achieve different functions - unlike electronic integration. To complicate matters further, many of the materials required for photonic integration aren't compatible with silicon integration technology. Attempts so far to place a variety of functional nanowires within photonic circuits to reach desired ... read more |
