Abstract :
InP is an ideal integration platform for optical generation, switching, and detection components operating in the range of 1.3-1.6 m wavelength, which is preferred for data transmission in the most prevalent silica-based optical fiber. We review the current state of the art in advanced InP photonic ICs.
