Date Time New tech builds ultralow-loss integrated photonic circuits Integrated silicon nitride photonic chips with meter-long spiral waveguides. Credit: Jijun He and Junqiu Liu (EPFL). EPFL scientists have developed ultralow-loss silicon nitride integrated circuits that are central for many photonic devices, such as chip-scale frequency combs, narrow-linewidth lasers, coherent LiDAR, and neuromorphic computing. Encoding information into light, and transmitting it through optical fibers lies at...

22 Apr 2021 Silicon nitride-based PICs offer “record low optical losses” as well as smaller footprints. Integrated silicon nitride photonic chips with meter-long spiral waveguides. Integrated photonic chips are usually made from silicon that is abundant and has good optical properties. But silicon cannot perform every required function in integrated photonics, so new material platforms have emerged. One of these is silicon nitride (Si 3N 4), whose exceptionally low optical loss â€...
