Hybrid integration of InP devices

Higher levels of optical integration are essential for next generation higher capacity systems. The requirements of higher capacity, lower footprint and reduced cost all lead to the need to integrate. However, this integration must be achieved without loss of performance. Hybrid integration is a key enabler in achieving these objectives. This paper describes one approach for hybrid integration where the best in class device technologies for actives and passives are integrated to produce a multiplicity of integrated devices using the same basic building blocks.
