Abstract
In the last decades the complexity of Photonic Integrated Circuits has increased by almost two orders. Complex PICs reported so far operate in an analog way, which impedes a further increase of complexity. Just like in micro-electronics digital operation allows for much larger integration. In the presentation analog integration will be reviewed, digital integration is discussed and a comparison is made between photonics and electronics.
