TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of the hybrid silicon photonic integration platform with emphasis on its prospects for increased integration complexity is reviewed, and it is shown that this platform is well positioned and holds great potential to address future needs for medium-scale photonic integrated circuits.

TL;DR: The photonic integrated circuit (PIC) consists of 164 optical components including lasers, amplifiers, photodiodes, phase tuners, grating couplers, splitters, and a photonic crystal lens and exhibited steering over 23° x 3.6°.

TL;DR: The impact active silicon photonic integrated circuits could have on interconnects, telecommunications, sensors, and silicon electronics is reviewed in this article, where the authors present a review of recent breakthroughs in the Silicon photonic technology and components.

TL;DR: A novel integrated silicon and ultra-low-loss Si3N4 waveguide platform with minimum propagation loss measured in the ultra- low-loss waveguides is 1.2 dB/m in the 1590 nm wavelength regime.

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the status of the field of ultra-low loss waveguides and circuits, including the design, the trade-off between bend radius and loss, and fabrication rationale are discussed.
