Abstract
State-of-the-art monolithically integrated, multi-channel InP-based system on chip (SOC) photonic ICs have been developed to implement Tb/s class coherent transmitters and receivers with extended C-band tunability. A 14-channel PIC architecture is demonstrated enabling 4.9 Tb/s total capacity using 44 Gbaud 16-QAM coherent modulation. Furthermore, multi-channel coherent transmitter PIC with hybrid integrated with SiGe drivers capable of operating up to 1.0 Tb/s per wave, utilizing 100 GBaud, 32QAM modulation are demonstrated.

Abstract
Silicon-based optical biosensors used for biomedical applications are described. In particular, integrated optical devices and their advantages, in terms of high performance and compactness, and also high reliability and long life term, have been reported. Since the last years, these features have been allowing to realize high-efficiency biosensing platforms with on-chip integration of several biosensors for a multi-analyte detection. Many lab-onchip systems integrated in portable medical instruments have been proposed in literature and already commercialized in the worldwide market, so reaching extraordinary improvements in the early detection and monitoring of several diseases. Therefore, fast and accurate self-tests achievable with silicon photonic biosensors are remarkably opening new possibilities and applications in the healthcare industry.

Abstract
This talk presents my group’s progress in foundry-compatible, monolithically integrated multilayer silicon nitride-on-silicon (SiN-on-Si) photonic platforms. These SiN-on-Si photonic platforms contain several waveguide levels, and light can be routed vertically between the layers to realize 3D photonic devices and circuits. I will present our work on passive and active elements, including ultra-low-loss waveguide crossings, multi-layer grating couplers, polarization management components, and ultra-efficient Si depletion modulators. These advancements make possible the implementation of very large-scale photonic circuits for applications such as optical switching, phased arrays, and dense sensor systems.
