DESCRIPTION:Prof. Michael Haney\, University of Delaware\nThis talk explor
 es the issues associated with Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) R&D – wi
 th an overall goal of initiating a discussion of how PIC technology should
  continue to develop and eventually be deployed with high impact.  Signif
 icant research programs have focused on PICs for routing and switching\, a
 nalog signal processing\, and computer interconnects.  Most recently\, th
 e application domain of PICs has diversified into such areas as remote sen
 sing\, biological and chemical sensing\, neural interfacing\, and solar ce
 lls.  A key feature of PIC technology growth has been the exploitation of
  high-density fabrication and packaging technology originally developed fo
 r the Silicon IC industry.   PIC foundry services are emerging – and t
 here has been a natural attempt to ascribe a “Moore’s Law” to PIC sc
 aling.  Analogiesto Silicon electronic scaling\, however\, should be used
  with caution.  PIC complexity scaling may be driven more by the ability 
 to access the degrees-of-freedom offered by PIC-based optical domain signa
 l processing\, rather than increasing device count.   Specific examples 
 of PIC research in chip-scale computer interconnects and integrated micro-
 concentrators for solar cells are highlighted.
