Photonic Integrated Circuits for NG-PON2 ONU Transceivers

• Access is very attractive for PIC ecosystem development due to the mass market • Photonic integration in access will help increasing complexity at a low expense on cost • Several are the points still to require attention • Packaging is critical • Yield in fabrication of the chips has to grow • More components (e.g. filtering) are key for diversification of the applications and solutions.
