One reason for using photonic devices is their speed—much faster than electronic circuits—but there are many challenges in integrating the two technologies. Ferrera et al. construct a CMOS-compatible monolithic optical waveform integrator, a key building block for photonic circuits.

Broadband RF Channelizer Based on an Integrated Optical Frequency Kerr Comb Source (2018, background): “of the need for many discrete components, such as external RF sources and mode-locked lasers. Integrated micro-comb sources [27, 28, 29, 30, 31], particularly those based on CMOS-compatible platforms [32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40], offer many advantages for broadband RF channelizers compared w”
A fully reconfigurable photonic integrated signal processor (2016, background): “With a rising time of 48 ps, the proposed photonic integrator offers a time-bandwidth product (TBP) (15) of 227, which is much higher than an advanced electronic integrator (TBP<10) (26), and also significant greater than the previously reported photonic integrator (TBP~100) (15).”
