3D integration enabling ultra-low noise isolator-free lasers in silicon photonics

Laser integration in silicon photonics has been tackled by heterogeneous integration with compound III-V materials. The availability of ultra-low-loss silicon nitride waveguides offer the possibilities in enabling ultra low noise lasers, through self-injection locking of lasers with ultra-high-Q microresonators.

Integrated photonic quantum technologies

Remarkable progress has been made in the development of hardware for quantum technologies. As a platform for quantum technologies, integrated photonics has enabled significant leaps for integrating many components, including programmable circuitry, photon sources and detectors. However, machines such as fault tolerant quantum computers appear to be a long way off for all platforms, including photonics.
