1. Photodetectors for silicon photonic integrated circuits

Silicon-based photonic components are especially attractive for realizing low-cost photonic integrated circuits (PICs) using high-volume manufacturing processes (Heck et al., 2013). Due to its transparency in the telecommunications wavelength bands near 1310 and 1550 nm, silicon is an excellent material for realizing low-loss passive optical components. For the same reason, it is not a strong c...

Recent Advances in Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits

We review recent breakthroughs in silicon photonics technology and components and describe progress in silicon photonic integrated circuits. Heterogeneous silicon photonics has recently demonstrated performance that significantly outperforms native III-V components. The impact active silicon photonic integrated circuits could have on interconnects, telecommunications, sensors and silicon electr...
