In particular\, the modulators are oft en the limiting electro-optic component. Silicon photonics has provided a scalable platform for small\, cost-effective\, and highly integrated PICs\ , but silicon-based modulators have limited bandwidth and relatively large insertion-loss.\n\nBarium titanate (BTO) has emerged as a material for hi gh-speed\, low-loss electro-optic modulators that can be integrated into s ilicon photonic platforms. It is a stable oxide material\, with large Pock els coefficients that can be produced on 300 mm wafers\, which enables hig h-performance transmitter PICs with the same level of integration as silic on photonics.\n\nThis talk will review the work that has been done by vari ous researchers to develop BTO as a photonic platform\, including various device demonstrations\, the integration with silicon photonics\, and its p otential for applications in different fields. It will also discuss the co mmercial 200 mm BTO-silicon platform that Lumiphase has developed and the recent PIC demonstrations.\n\nSpeaker(s): Felix Eltes\n\nAgenda: \n1:30 pm - 2:00 pm: Free networking (on-site only)\n\n2:00 pm - 3:00 pm: Tech Talk (hybrid)\n\nRoom: MC603\, Bldg: McConnell Engineering building\, McGill U niversity\, 3480 rue University\, Montreal\, Quebec\, Canada\, H3A 0C3\, V irtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/551060 LOCATION:Room: MC603\, Bldg: McConnell Engineering building\, McGill Univer sity\, 3480 rue University\, Montreal\, Quebec\, Canada\, H3A 0C3\, Virtua l: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/551060 ORGANIZER:matthew.t.posner@ieee.org SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:BTO-silicon photonic integrated circuits for optical communications URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/551060 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Abstract:</strong> &nbsp\;</p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The demand for continuous increase i n the bandwidth of optical transceivers creates a need for technological i nnovation of photonic integrated circuits (PICs).
