Abstract :
Photonic integrated circuits have applications in deployed communication networks and have promise for entirely new applications. Integration of passive and active devices monolithically requires spatially localized gain. Approaches for integration of electrically injected photonic crystal membrane lasers with photonic crystal waveguides will be discussed. Such nano-photonic integrated circuits may have promising senor applications. Vertical cavity photonic integrated circuits (VCPICs) based on transverse coupled 2-D laser arrays may enable image processing and will also be discussed.
