| Summary |
Communication today is increasingly reliant on the manipulation of optical signals. Where previously electronic circuits manipulated such signals, photonic circuits now take their place. With photonic technology, devices are no longer limited only to the silicon wafer and often require broader functionality than can be offered on this traditional platform. This report discusses the use of polymers instead of, and in conjunction with, traditional platforms such as indium phosphide and ferroelectric ceramic lithium niobate. Critical comparisons are made between use of polymers and alternative ma |
