Silicon photonic integration in telecommunications
نویسنده
چکیده
Silicon photonics is the guiding of light in a planar arrangement of silicon-based materials to perform various functions. We focus here on the use of silicon photonics to create transmitters and receivers for fiber-optic telecommunications. As the need to squeeze more transmission into a given bandwidth, a given footprint, at a given cost increases, silicon photonics makes more and more economic sense.

Integration of Silicon Nano-Photonic Devices for Telecommunications
Monolithic integration of various kinds of optical components on a silicon wafer is the key to making silicon (Si) photonics practical technology. Applying silicon photonics to telecommunications further requires low insertion loss and polarization independence. We propose an integration concept for telecommunications based on Si and related materials and demonstrate monolithic integration of p...
متن کاملCMOS-Compatible Plasmonic Nanocircuits for On-Chip Integration
Silicon photonics is merging as a unified platform for driving photonic based telecommunications and for local photonic based interconnect but it suffers from large footprint as compared with the nanoelectronics. Plasmonics is an attractive alternative for nanophotonics. In this work, two CMOS compatible plasmonic waveguide platforms are compared. One is the horizontal metalinsulator-Si-insulat...

متن کاملAdd-Drop and Channel-Drop Optical Filters Based on Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators
Here, we propose an add-drop and a channel drop filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystal all circular ring resonators. These structures are made of a square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive index n2=1). The broadest photonic band gap occurs at the filling ratio of r/a = 0.17. Two linear defect W1 waveguides couple to the ring....
