Abstract

Integrated photonics is becoming a reality in many applications, from telecom to sensing. In particular, the opportunity to use existing semiconductor fabrication technology to mass-produce photonic integrated circuits can dramatically reduce size and weight of these systems, together with a great reduction in cost. In this presentation I will overview the current state of the art of silicon photonics for sensing applications, including spectrometers, inertial sensors, biochemical sensors, and optical fiber sensor interrogators.
