Novel regrowth-free vertical active-passive integration scheme with improved fabrication tolerance

We present a novel vertically-coupled active-passive integration architecture that provides an order of magnitude reduction in coupling coefficient variation between misaligned waveguides when compared with a conventional vertically-coupled structure. © 2005 Optical Society of America.

Technology management tools: Generalization, integration and configuration

Managers in technology-intensive businesses need to make decisions in complex and dynamic environments. Many tools, frameworks and processes have been developed to support managers in these situations, leading to a proliferation of such approaches, with little consistency in terminology or theoretical foundation, and a lack of understanding of how such tools can be linked together to tackle management challenges in an integrated way. As a step towards addressing these issues, this paper proposes the concept of an integrated 'toolkit', incorporating generalized forms of three core technology management tools that support strategic planning (roadmapping, portfolio analysis and linked analysis grids). © 2006 World Scientific Publishing Company.
