ABSTRACT
Optical isolators are fabricated on a silicon waveguide platform by directly bonding a magneto-optic garnet. The fabricated devices exhibit performance characteristics of a 30 dB isolation, a 20-dB isolation bandwidth of 8 nm, and a temperature-insensitive backward isolation. As another application of magneto-optic garnet, an optical switch is also fabricated having a latching function.

ABSTRACT
We demonstrate the integration of a silicon nitride Damascene photonic platform with thin-film lithiumniobate on insulator (LNOI) via direct wafer bonding. This process enables fabrication of hybrid microresonatorsexploiting second- and third-order nonlinearity with Q-factor of 1 million, as well as integrated travelling waveEO modulators.

ABSTRACT
We demonstrate a compact phase shifter using liquid crystal actuation, integrated in an established siliconphotonics platform. The devices are fabricated using IMEC’s iSiPP50G platform with a simple post-processing,making this technology compatible with current fabrication possibilities. In this first device demonstration wemeasure 0.75πphase shift for 10 V actuation over a 60μmlength.

ABSTRACT
We present an electro-optic slot waveguide phase modulator on the InP membrane on Silicon (IMOS) platform. For the first time, it is developed and fabricated on an InP based membrane.Low-frequency characterization of this modulator shows that it can achieve 𝑉𝜋𝐿𝜋as low as 3 V.mm. Here, working principle, design and fabrication of this modulator is presented.

ABSTRACT
Increase of power consumption on integrated opticaldevices for photonic applications has encouraged material engineering to explore new materials and its properties. One of the main challenges on silicon photonics for optical applications is the hybrid integration of these materials due to the lattice mismatch imposed by silicon. In this regard, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with a lattice parameter similar to silicon and several functional oxides has been widely studied [1]. Moreover, YSZ waveguides have demonstratedlow propagation loss, and no two photon absorption (TPA). Furthermore, itis transparent from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared and exhibit good Kerr effect. It was recently demonstrated about2 dB/cm propagation losses in waveguides etched on YSZ at a wavelength of 1380 nm [2]. In order to grow an active material as waveguide cladding, we doped YSZ with Er3+ions with a wavelength emission within the C-band of telecommunication window (=1530 nm). In our study, we have considered Er:YSZ cladding deposited by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) on a hybrid SiNxwaveguide. Moreover, we demonstratedguided emission for near-IR transitions of erbium ions under continuous-wave pump laser excitation at 1480 nm. Enhancement of Er3+ion output signal at 1530nmwill be discussed and explored and preliminaryoptical gain will be presented

ABSTRACT
Phase change materials such as vanadium dioxide (VO2) could enable new functionalities in the silicon pho-tonics platform. Here, we propose a hybrid VO2/Si waveguide switch enabled by a SiO2upper-cladding with anon-top microheater. The feasibility of fabricating this device is demonstrated by experimentally depositing a SiO2upper-cladding with plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Results show power consumptionof 260μW and switching speed of 4.8μs with an extinction ratio of around 20 dB for a 2-μm-long switch.
