Abstract

The state of the art in the fabrication of heterodyne receiver photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is described and in particular the results and experiences of the first fabrication of polarization-insensitive heterodyne receiver PICs are emphasized. The fabrication is based on a versatile integration concept with the potential also to fabricate other PIC architectures with different functionalities by only a single fabrication process.
