Objectives |
|
Photonic Crystals (PCs) in 2 dimensions have recently given rise to striking validation of the basic concepts. The purpose of the PCIC (Photonic Crystal Integrated Circuits) project is to apply these concepts to Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) on InP, intented for telecommunication applications, for which we foresee three major advantages: ultra high compacity, simple and low-cost fabrication routes and implementation of novel functionnalities. The aim is to develop integrated-optics oriented PC fabrication routes and combine carefully validated PC modelling tools to achieve several important PC-based building blocks, including low-loss waveguides, bends, couplers, combiners and filters. Demonstrators consisting of integrated systems of active (lasers) and passive elements for WDM applications will be developed to validate the impact of PCs in integrated optics. |
