Photonic integration has been at the center of photonic activity for several years. Over this period, great strides have been made to increase the integration density and chip functionality. This talk will work its way up from the drivers for photonic integration – why do we need Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)? What are their similarities and differences with Electronic Integrated Circuits (EICs)? This analysis of integration drivers will lead to a discussion of recent progress on the main paths: monolithic, heterogeneous, and hybrid. The talk will conclude with possible approaches to meet the additional demanding considerations for future Quantum PICs.
