Abstract
Abstract The burgeoning research into two‐dimensional (2D) materials opens a door to novel photonic and optoelectronic devices utilizing their fascinating electronic and photonic properties in thin‐layered architectures. The hybrid integration of 2D materials onto integrated optics platforms thus becomes a potential solution to tackle the bottlenecks of traditional optoelectronic devices. In this paper, we present the recent advances of hybrid integration of a wide range of 2D materials on integrated optics platforms for developing high‐performance photodetectors, modulators, lasers, and nonlinear optics. Such hybrid integration enables fully functional on‐chip devices to be readily accessible researchers and technology developers, becoming a potential candidate for next‐generation photonics and optoelectronics industries.
