The development of integrated silicon photonic circuits has
recently been driven by the Internet and the push for high
bandwidth as well as the need to reduce power dissipation induced
by high data-rate signal transmission. To reach these goals,
efficient passive and active silicon photonic devices, including
waveguide, modulators, photodetectors, multiplexers, light sources,
and various subsystems, have been developed that take advantage of
state-of-the-art silicon technology.
Suitable for both specialists and newcomers, Handbook of Silicon
Photonics presents a coherent and comprehensive overview of this
field from the fundamentals to integrated systems and applications.
It covers a broad spectrum of materials and applications,
emphasizing passive and active photonic devices, fabrication,
integration, and the convergence with CMOS technology. The book s
self-contained chapters are written by international experts from
academia and various photonics-related industries.
The handbook starts with the basics of silicon as an optical
material. It then describes the building blocks needed to drive
integrated silicon photonic circuits and explains how these
building blocks are incorporated in complex photonic/electronic
circuits. The book also presents applications of silicon photonics
in numerous fields, including biophotonics and photovoltaics.
With many illustrations, including some in color, this handbook
provides an up-to-date reference to the broad and rapidly changing
area of silicon photonics. It shows how basic science and
innovative technological applications are pushing the field
forward."
