Silicon photonic integration in telecommunications

Silicon photonic integration in telecommunications

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 econom...

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...

Silicon Photonic Crystals Towards Optical Integration

Photonic Integration in State-of-the-Art Silicon Electronics Processes

Photonic integration within state-of-the-art CMOS and DRAM processes leverages the existing electronic manufacturing infrastructure to minimize cost. Suitable design techniques combined with in-foundry optimization or post-processing have enabled integration within several advanced technologies. !2012 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (250.5300) Photonic integrated circuits; (200.4650) Opt...

Semantic Integration in Telecommunications

In this article, we discuss semantic integration challenges encountered in multi-vendor systems integration as well as ways of addressing them. These challenges are relevant to not only to traditional bespoke Operations Support Systems and Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) system integration approach in telecommunications, but also to the use of Service-oriented Architecture (SoA) architectura...
