Integrated Photonics

This 211-page textbook, developed by the National Center for Optics and Photonics Education (OP-TEC), is intended for a five-module course on integrated photonics. This book provides "an overview of the technology device characteristics, fabrication techniques and equipment, and applications in high-speed computing, telecommunications, biomedicine, and other fields." The five modules include: Photonic Integrated Circuits: Materials and Fabrication Technologies, Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits and Devices, III-V and Compound Semiconductor Devices, Dielectric and Polymer Waveguides and Waveguide Devices, and Integrated Photonic Circuits and Systems. Modules include sections on prerequisites, objectives, scenario, basic concepts, problem exercises and questions, and more. Supplemental textbook materials are included in the the Integrated-Photonics-Figures-and-Images (1).zip attachment. This attachment includes five PDF and five PowerPoint files of the figures and images in the textbook. Below is a list of files contained within the .zip attachment. The size of each file is included in parenthesis. Integrated Photonics Figures and Images (11 files, 77.4 MB)Photonic Integrated Circuits (IP_Figures_and_Images_for_Instructors_Module_1_Photonic_Integrated_Circuits.pdf 3.6 MB)Photonic Integrated Circuits (IP_Figures_and_Images_for_Instructors_Module_1_Photonic_Integrated_Circuits.pptx 11 MB)Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits (IP_Figures_and_Images_for_Instructors_Module_2_Silicon_Photonic_Integrated_Circuits.pdf 5.5 MB)Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits (IP_Figures_and_Images_for_Instructors_Module_2_Silicon_Photonic_Integrated_Circuits.pptx 26.8 MB)Semiconductor Devices (IP_Figures_and_Images_for_Instructors_Module_3_III-V_Semiconductor_Devices.pdf 4.3 MB)Semiconductor Devices (IP_Figures_and_Images_for_Instructors_Module_3_III-V_Semiconductor_Devices.pptx 10 MB)Dielectric and Polymer Waveguides (IP_Figures_and_Images_for_Instructors_Module_4_Dielectric_and_Polymer_Waveguides.pdf 2.2 MB)Dielectric and Polymer Waveguides (IP_Figures_and_Images_for_Instructors_Module_4_Dielectric_and_Polymer_Waveguides.pptx 6.5 MB)Integrated Photonic Circuits (IP_Figures_and_Images_for_Instructors_Module_5_Integrated_Photonic_Circuits.pdf 1.9 MB)Integrated_Photonic_Circuits (IP_Figures_and_Images_for_Instructors_Module_5_Integrated_Photonic_Circuits.pptx 5.5 MB
