The silicon solution [silicon photonics

IEEE Spectrum, 2005
As newer, faster microprocessors roll out, the copper connections that feed those processors within computers and servers will prove inadequate to handle huge amounts of data. To address this concern, this paper proposes the replacement of the copper with optical fiber and the electrons with photons. Called silicon photonics, this technology will allow

Silicon nanostructures for photonics and photovoltaics

Nature Nanotechnology, 2014
Silicon has long been established as the material of choice for the microelectronics industry. This is not yet true in photonics, where the limited degrees of freedom in material design combined with the indirect bandgap are a major constraint. Recent developments, especially those enabled by nanoscale engineering of the electronic and photonic ...

An overview of silicon photonics for LIDAR

OPTO, 2020
Automotive self-driving capability is highly developed using camera vision but can benefit from the addition of independent sensor platforms for redundancy and further reduction of MTBF (mean time between failure).

SILICON NANOCRYSTALS ENABLING SILICON PHOTONICS

2010
Silicon Photonics is an emerging field of research and technology, where nano-silicon can play a fundamental role. In this chapter, the main building blocks of Silicon Photonics ( waveguides, modulators, sources and detectors) are reviewed and compared to their counterparts made by Si nanocrystals.

Silicon photonics

2017
Silicon (Si) photonics is the science and technology of using the group-IV element of the periodic table as the principle material for optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs). Silicon has long had photonic applications. Notably, it has been the dominant material of choice for photovoltaic cells, visible and short near-infrared (IR) (

Photonic crystals and silicon photonics

2008 International Nano-Optoelectronics Workshop, 2008
Photonic crystals and silicon photonics have dramatically reduced the size of photonic devices to a micron scale and added unique functionalities such as slow light and negative refraction. They will increase the feasibility of large scale photonic integration if lll-V devices are smartly combined with Si platform.

Nonlinear silicon photonics

Journal of Optics, 2017
Silicon photonics is a technology based on fabricating integrated optical circuits by using the same paradigms of the dominating electronics industry. After twenty years of impetuous development, silicon photonics is entering the market with low cost, high performance and mass manufacturable optical devices.

Silicon photonics for entangled photons

Asia Communications and Photonics Conference 2016, 2016
Micro-chips using silicon photonics can generate entangled photons using low power at telecommunications wavelengths and at room temperature. With further development, such compact chips might replace traditional crystal-based or fiber-based bulky photon-generation sources.
