Summary: Silicon-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are seeing rapid adoption in datacom, enabling data rates beyond 100 Gb/sec. These PICs leverage silicon (Si) waveguides operating at near-infrared wavelengths (1300-1600 nm) where Si is transparent. For photonic applications outside of telecom including lidar, bio-photonics, and atomic systems where wavelengths spanning near UV to IR are of interest, PICs based on silicon-nitride (SiN) waveguides can be utilized. Since neither Si nor SiN components emit light efficiently, light sources need to be integrated with these platforms using fiber coupling or heterogeneous integration techniques. There is a desire to combine the best-of-breed active devices (e.g., lasers, semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), modulators, photodetectors) typically fabricated in III-V material systems with the Si and SiN platforms. We present a hybrid integration platform that enables flip-chip die attach of a wide variety of III-V photonic components with our SiN PIC platform. This technology can be leveraged to benefit a variety of photonic applications that are being developed at Lincoln Laboratory. Speaker: Dr. Kharas is a member of the Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems Group at Lincoln Laboratory, where he is working in the Integrated Photonics Team in a process integration role. Dr. Kharas leads the Photonics Team’s device fabrication activities across a number of technology platforms including silicon and nitride PICs, hybrid integration of III-V components, MEMS and Microfluidic devices. Prior to joining Lincoln Labs, Dr. Kharas led the AlInGaP Technology Group at Philips Lumileds. He holds PhD and MS degrees in Materials Science from SUNY Stony Brook, and a BS in Applied Physics from UMASS Lowell. |
