Abstract: Integrated electronic-photonic co-design can profoundly impact both fields resulting in advances in several areas such as communication, signal processing, metrology, imaging, and sensing. In this talk, examples of hybrid and monolithically integrated electronic-photonic systems for optical frequency synthesis, photonic assisted microwave near-field imaging, and low power laser stabilization and laser linewidth reduction will be presented.
