Monolithic waveguide photodetector brings germanium’s photosensitivity to silicon photonics.

Cary Gunn and Gianlorenzo Masini, Luxtera Inc.

The introduction of very large scale integration dramatically cut the cost of electronic devices, driving the development of a wide range of new products. Efforts to bring the benefits of large-scale integration to the photonics sector have proved less than successful in the past. Now, with the development of monolithically integrated silicon-germanium photodetectors, photonic large-scale integration is poised to become a reality. Waveguides, modulators, filters and couplers all have been integrated into silicon wafers but, until recently, little progress had been made with the integration...Read full article
