This is HUGE!! IPSR Roadmap >> The Integrated Phot
Post# of 871
The IPSR-I is the result of the efforts of more than 250 experts from all over the world, working in the field of integrated photonic technologies and their applications. It gives an overview of the current status of technologies and of applications in which integrated photonic components are used. Above all it describes the trends, expectations and needs for technology and application development in the near (0-5 years), intermediate (5-10 years) and far (10-20 years) future.

Polymers are listed as 1 of 4 Main Platforms right in the Introduction on Page 5 and Polymers are all over this report including Dr Lebby's Purple Brick Wall on Page 8

Needs < 5 years
• Device speed increased (bandwidths EO
S21 of 80GHz in PIC platform)
• Drive voltage at 1V so that drivers can be eliminated
• Telcordia qualification for modulators
• Hybrid integration with InP lasers
Needs 5-10 years
• Device speed increased (bandwidths EO S21 to
120GHz+ in PIC platform (for 150Gbps NRZ data rate))
• Drive voltage less than 1V so that drivers can be
eliminated (direct drive from CMOS ICs)
Needs > 10 years
• Device speed increased (bandwidths EO S21 to
150GHz+ in PIC platform (for 180Gbps NRZ data rate)
• Drive voltage less than 1V so that drivers can be
eliminated (direct drive from CMOS ICs)
• Telcordia qualification for polymer modulators
The less than 5 years has LWLG witten ALL OVER IT!
