Low-loss photonic IC
Researchers at EPFL built a photonic integrated circuit with ultra-low loss.
The team focused on silicon nitride (Si3N4), which has orders of magnitude lower optical loss compared to silicon. It is used in low-loss applications such as narrow-linewidth lasers, photonic delay lines, and nonlinear photonics.
In applying the material to photonic ICs, they took advantage...
