Photonics is a key technology of this century. The combination of
photonics and silicon technology is of great importance because of
the potentiality of coupling electronics and optical functions on a
single chip. Many experimental and theoretical studies have been
performed to understand and design the photonic properties of
silicon nanocrystals. Generation of light in silicon is a
challenging perspective in the field; however, the issue of
light-emitting devices does not limit the activity in the field.
Research is also focused on light modulators, optical waveguides
and interconnectors, optical amplifiers, detectors, memory
elements, photonic crystals, etc. A particularly important task of
silicon nanostructures is to generate electrical energy from solar
light. Understanding the optical properties of silicon-based
materials is central in designing photonic components. It is not
possible to control the optical properties of nanoparticles without
fundamental information on their microscopic structure, which
explains a large number of theoretical works on this subject. Many
fundamental and practical problems should be solved in order to
develop this technology. In addition to open fundamental questions,
it is even more difficult to develop the known experimental results
towards practical realization. However, the world market for
silicon photonics is expected to be huge; thus, more research
activity in the field of silicon nanophotonics is expected in the
future. This book describes different aspects of silicon
nanophotonics, from fundamental issues to practical devices. The
second edition is essentially different from the book published in
2008. Eight chapters of the first edition are not included in the
new book, because the recent progress on those topics has not been
large enough. Instead, seven new chapters appear. The other eight
chapters are essentially modified to describe recent achievements
in the field.
