Integrated Photonic Circuits Demonstrate Ultralow Loss
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, April 27, 2021 — Researchers at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne’s (EPFL’s) School of Basic Sciences have developed a technology that produces silicon nitride integrated photonic circuits with low optical losses and small footprints. Silicon is favored as a material for integrated photonic chips due to its abundance and optical properties, though the material has an optical loss orders of magnitude higher than that of silicon nitride. As a result, silicon
