14 - III–V/Si mid-IR photonic integrated circuits
Abstract
Abstract Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) hold the promise to revolutionize current sensing and spectroscopic systems in terms of costs, dimensions, and performance by seamlessly integrating into existing solutions and by further providing new functionalities to current mid-IR sources, sensors, and detectors. In the first part of the chapter, we will discuss the main platforms addressing the mid-IR wavelength range, while in the second part of the chapter, we will discuss systems integrating III–V technologies to provide additional functionalities outside of commonly available CMOS-compatible platforms.
