The growing demand for instant and reliable communication means
that photonic circuits are increasingly finding applications in
optical communications systems. One of the prime candidates to
provide satisfactory performance at low cost in the photonic
circuit is silicon. Whilst silicon photonics is less well developed
as compared to some other material technologies, it is poised to
make a serious impact on the telecommunications industry, as well
as in many other applications, as other technologies fail to meet
the yield/performance/cost trade-offs. Following a sympathetic
tutorial approach, this first book on silicon photonics provides a
comprehensive overview of the technology. "Silicon Photonics"
explains the concepts of the technology, taking the reader through
the introductory principles, on to more complex building blocks of
the optical circuit. Starting with the basics of waveguides and the
properties peculiar to silicon, the book also features: Key design
issues in optical circuits. Experimental methods. Evaluation
techniques. Operation of waveguide based devices. Fabrication of
silicon waveguide circuits. Evaluation of silicon photonic systems.
Numerous worked examples, models and case studies.
"Silicon Photonics" is an essential tool for photonics
engineers and young professionals working in the optical network,
optical communications and semiconductor industries. This book is
also an invaluable reference and a potential main text to senior
undergraduates and postgraduate students studying fibre optics,
integrated optics, or optical network technology.
