TL;DR: In this article, the state of this emerging photonic circuit design flow and its synergies with electronic design automation (EDA) is reviewed. And the similarities and differences between photonic and electronic design, and the challenges and opportunities that present themselves in the new photonic design landscape, such as variability analysis, photonic-electronic co-simulation and compact model definition.

TL;DR: An overview of the state-of-the-art in evanescent field biosensing technologies including interferometer, microcavity, photonic crystal, and Bragg grating waveguide-based sensors, as well as real biomarkers for label-free detection are exhibited and compared.

TL;DR: Broadband directional couplers with various power splitting ratios, including 10%/90%, 20%/80%, 30%/70%, 40%/60% and 50%/50%, were realized for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes.

TL;DR: The design, fabrication and measurement of integrated Bragg gratings in a compact single-mode silicon-on-insulator ridge waveguide, and the analysis shows that the Bragg wavelength deviation is mainly caused by the wafer thickness variation.
