This paper presents our advancements in silicon integrated photonics for telecommunication and data communication. The latter now mostly rely on complex transmitters and receivers compatible with multi-level data modulation and. The project is supported by the Key Digital Technologies Joint Undertaking and its members including top-up funding by Belgium, Germany, France, Israel, Italy and the Netherlands. Silicon Photonics: what? LiNbO3: thin films bonded on silicon Graphene: layer transfer (Berkeley, CNIT, (nitride). Silicon photonics is the guiding of light in a planar arrangement of silicon-based materials to perform various functions. Due to to applications like big data and ma-chine learning. In high-performance holds promise for moving further to and onto chips. MacKay, Shahrzad Khajavi, William Fraser, Xiaochen Xin, Daniel Benedikovic, Bryce A. Dorin, Yao Sun, Qiankun Liu, Tianyi Hao, Neha Purwaha, M. Li, Sarra Salhi, Daniele Melati, Alejandro Sanchez-Postigo, Pavel Cheben, Jens H. Silicon photonics is an attractive technology for Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) because it builds directly on the extreme maturity of the silicon nano-electronics world.
