| 摘 要： | We formulate a ＂Moore＇s law＂ for photonic integrated circuits （PICs） and their spatial integration density using two methods. One is decomposing the integrated photonics devices of diverse types into equivalent basic elements, which makes a comparison with the generic elements of electronic integrated circuits more meaningful. The other is making a complex component equivalent to a series of basic elements of the same functionality, which is used to calculate the integration density for functional components realized with different structures. The results serve as a benchmark of the evolution of PICs and we can conclude that the density of integration measured in this way roughly increases by a factor of 2 per year. The prospects for a continued increase of spatial integration density are discussed.

| Abstract: | We formulate a “Moore’s law” for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and their spatial integration density using two methods.
One is decomposing the integrated photonics devices of diverse types into equivalent basic elements, which makes a comparison
with the generic elements of electronic integrated circuits more meaningful. The other is making a complex component equivalent
to a series of basic elements of the same functionality, which is used to calculate the integration density for functional
components realized with different structures. The results serve as a benchmark of the evolution of PICs and we can conclude
that the density of integration measured in this way roughly increases by a factor of 2 per year. The prospects for a continued
increase of spatial integration density are discussed.
