Heterogeneous integration of Brillouin devices with active silicon photonic circuits

We demonstrate the first heterogeneously integrated Brillouin circuit on an active photonic chip that incorporates electro-optic modulators. The integrated Si-As2S3 Brillouin circuit enables microwave photonic filters with over 40 dB rejection, a major step towards fully integrated high-resolution Brillouin microwave photonic systems.
