Integrated Photonic Technologies for On-Chip and Space Applications
Integrated photonics has the potential to greatly reduce the size, weight, and power (SWaP) while improving the performance and reliability of photonic systems. This technology has already impacted telecommunications and is expected to transform data center communications, high performance computing, microwave photonics, and sensing. This talk will describe examples of integrated photonic technologies being developed in our research group and also discuss a novel application for integrated photonics, namely, space optical communications.
