Extending the spectrum of fully integrated photonics to submicrometre wavelengths.

ABSTRACT: Integrated photonics has profoundly affected a wide range of technologies underpinning modern society^1-4. The ability to fabricate a complete optical system on a chip offers unrivalled scalability, weight, cost and power efficiency^5,6. Over the last decade, the progression from pure III-V materials platforms to silicon photonics has significantly broadened the scope of integrated photonics, by combining integrated lasers with the high-volume, advanced fabrication capabilities of the commercial electronics industry^7,8. Yet, despite remarkable manufacturing advantages, reliance on silicon-based waveguides currently limits the spectral window available to photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Here, we present a new generation of integrated photonics by directly
