Abstract: Indium phosphide photonic integration platforms offer a wide range of passive components, but excel in their optoelectrical functionality. The indium-phosphide-membrane-on-silicon (IMOS) platform bargains this functionality, but combines it with high-index-contrast nanophotonic circuits. Recent demonstrations have highlighted devices with competitive performance metrics, including ultrafast photodiodes, best-in-class thermos-optic phase modulators, multi-pass SOAs, and widely-tunable lasers. Applications of the IMOS devices show high potential in optical wireless, optical cross-connects and sensing applications.
