CONCLUSIONS
Micron-size silicon waveguides already offer
• Low losses in small footprint
• Polarization independent, ultra-broadband operation
• Monolithic & hybrid integration of active components
…and in the future they are aimed to also offer
• Isolators & circulators on chip
• Fast monolithic modulators
• Even lower losses to support microwave photonics,
optical computing and other new applications
• Scalability from R&D and small volumes (<1M chips)
to very large volume manufacturing (>>1M chips)

Summary
20/09/2019 VTT – beyond the obvious
We are living in a Digital
World and number of
connected devices and
amount of data is
increasing faster and
faster every year
Autonomous systems (e.g. self-
driving cars and ships) and robots
need reliable sensor systems
and low-latency connectivity
VTT is developing antennas
and RF solutions
for future wireless
communications systems
as well as for robotics, autonomous
systems, public safety and wellbeing
applications
We collaborate world wide
with top universities, research
organisations and companies
