Integrated photonics is the optical equivalent to the circuits that make up modern electronic devices. However, instead of routing electrons around a microchip, a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), guides light through nanoscale “waveguides”. PICs can be fabricated at high volumes and low per-unit costs on lithographically patterned semiconductor wafers. In nonlinear integrated photonics, advanced functionality can be added to PICs through carefully engineered interactions between light and the waveguiding material. At Octave Photonics, we focus on two nonlinear processes: supercontinuum generation and Kerr-soliton frequency comb generation.
