Abstract :
In this paper, we review our work on III-V/SOI photonic integrated circuits for short-wave infrared applications. We focus on the integration of short-wave infrared photodetectors on a silicon photonics platform and on the generation of a short-wave infrared supercontinuum using the χ(3) nonlinearity in silicon photonic wires. In addition, the performance of a silicon optical parametric amplifier is reviewed, as a first step towards constructing an integrated tunable short-wave infrared parametric oscillator.
