Abstract
Over the past decades, integrated photonic circuits have revolutionized the field of optics by enabling on-chip generation, manipulation, and detection of light with unprecedented scalability and precision. By leveraging advances in material platforms and nanofabrication tools and techniques, integrated photonics supports an ever-expanding range of applications, from high-speed optical communications and on-chip sensing to photonic quantum computing and signal processing. In this work, we showcase fundamental device designs and advanced nanofabrication techniques to improve their performance. We also address critical challenges—such as integrating active components, managing losses, and achieving high thermal tunability and discuss future directions for ultra-compact, energy-efficient, and multifunctional integrated photonic devices.
