Workshop Session
Silicon Photonics is reaching a level of maturity where it is becoming the default component technology for many applications. However, the more established Silicon Photonics processes still do not incorporate optical gain, needed to form laser diodes. This workshop aims to give the workshop participant an overview of current efforts to integrate lasers with Silicon Photonic components. The scope will include efforts to incorporate III-V material with Silicon optical waveguides, as well as reviewing efforts targeted at more specific applications and capabilities. The workshop will be initiated by a short presentation by each of the invited speakers, followed by an open discussion session.
