Ep 40 - Integrated Photonics at Submicron Wavelengths

Silicon has long been the workhorse of photonics, but its limits stop at the edge of the visible spectrum. In this episode, we explore how researchers have broken through those barriers with a new heterogeneous III–V/SiN platform. From submicron lasers and amplifiers to record-breaking high-temperature performance, this technology opens the door to quantum computing, AR/VR, biosensing, and beyond.
