Abstract :
In this paper, the current state of the art for large-scale InP photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is reviewed with a focus on the devices and technologies that are driving the commercial scaling of highly integrated devices. Specifically, the performance, reliability, and manufacturability of commercial 100-Gb/s dense wavelength-division-multiplexed transmitter and receiver PICs are reviewed as well as next- and future-generation devices (500 Gb/s and beyond). The large-scale PIC enables significant reductions in cost, packaging complexity, size, fiber coupling, and power consumption which have enabled benefits at the component and system level.
