Abstract This chapter introduces silicon photonics and addresses its importance. Silicon photonics is not just another optical technology for high-speed communications—it will ultimately
Silicon photonics is the study and application of photonic systems which use silicon as an optical medium. The silicon is usually patterned with sub-micrometre precision, into microphotonic components. These operate in the infrared, most commonly at the 1.55 micrometre wavelength used by most fiber optic telecommunication systems. The silicon typically lies on top of a layer of silica in what (by analogy with a similar construction in
Silicon photonics is the study and application of photonic systems which use silicon as an optical medium. The silicon is usually patterned with sub
