Abstract:
Integrated photonics is essential in radio access: current pluggable optics and upcoming co-packaged optics rely on it to increase capacity and energy efficiency. Photonic integrated circuits may perform in future functions such as radiofrequency generation and mixing. This paper discusses relevant technical and ecosystem challenges.
