Abstract :
A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) involves a collection of devices on a single substrate that work together to create, guide, mold, or terminate optical photons. Its distant cousin is a high-speed electrical analog (not digital) circuit. PICs find their highest value when integrating many optical components. The technology is finally here to integrate hundreds of optical components together with high yield.
