Abstract

Silicon-on-insulator and silicon nitride (Si3N4) are powerful integration platforms for photonic circuits, offering cost-efficient mass production at high yield. However, both material systems lack important optical properties such as strong electro-optic effects and the ability to efficiently emit light that are indispensable for realizing advanced on-chip systems. These deficiencies can be overcome by combining passive silicon or Si3N4 waveguides with functional organic cladding materials in a hybrid approach. In this talk, we briefly summarize our work on hybrid electro-optic modulators and then focus on low-cost silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) and Si3N4-organic hybrid (SiNOH) lasers. These devices can be efficiently realized by depositing light-emitting cladding materials onto pre-processed waveguide structures. SOH and SiNOH lasers can address both near-infrared and visible wavelengths and may open an attractive path towards low-cost biosensors for point-of-care diagnostics.
