Evolution of Photonics Integrated Circuits for Microwave Photonics Applications

Integrated microwave photonics to study the use of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to implement microwave photonic subsystems and systems have been heavily studied for the last few years. In this talk, the evolution of PICs in microwave photonics applications will be discussed with an emphasis on the use of different materials systems to implement photonic integrated microwave photonic systems.
