Abstract
The potential for miniaturised optical systems to be printed onto integrated circuits and mass manufactured like consumer electronics has remained tantalisingly just out of reach for decades. The major challenge has been combining the vast array of fundamentally different elements into a fully functional system. This talk will present an overview of recent breakthroughs to achieve true integrated circuits that combine the mass manufacture of silicon, the ultra-low loss of nitride and active semiconductors through hybrid integration. Emphasis will be placed on the resurgence of lithium niobate and its potential to unlock the electromagnetic spectrum linking the visible, infrared, Terahertz and microwave regimes. The talk will conclude with a vision for the diverse applications that could be transformed by harnessing these fully integrated photonic circuits.
