Abstract

Silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) integration can extend the capabilities of silicon photonics by combining silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides with functional organic cladding materials. This enables energy-efficient electro-optic modulators and ultra-compact phase shifters. We review recent progress in SOH integration, discussing both fundamental device concepts and experimental demonstrations.
