Speech Abstract

Silicon-based photonics has the potential to revolutionize modern information technology. In the past decade, silicon photonics has made a series of breakthroughs in device technology and has been applied in optical communications and optical interconnection. In the next decade, silicon-based photonics will develop towards high-density integration and may open up new application areas such as lidar. High-density integration requires not only miniaturization of devices, but also high density. Relatively speaking, there are more studies on miniaturized devices, and we will briefly introduce our recent progress in this regard. On the other hand, there are relatively few studies on high-density silicon-based waveguide devices. The reason is obvious. Highly dense waveguides will strongly couple and produce crosstalk, which is a basic problem in integrated optics. We propose the concept of "waveguide superlattice" and related theories to reduce crosstalk, and experimentally realize high-density, low-crosstalk waveguide integration with half-wavelength spacing. We will introduce the application of this technology in optical phased arrays and its impact on related technical fields such as lidar. We will also briefly introduce related applications in space division multiplexing, wavelength division multiplexing, and on-chip optical interconnection. Silicon-based photonic devices and their integration require a corresponding manufacturing process platform. We will briefly introduce the related work on the collaborative development of silicon-based photonic processes on CMOS lines.
