چکیده
We introduce our approach to opto-electronic integration, silicon photonics, and outline the key functions required for an opto-electronic integration platform: generation, control, and detection of light. Recent research results for silicon-based optical components are discussed including a tunable external cavity laser, a 2.5 GHz optical modulator and a silicon-germanium waveguide-based photodetector. Lastly, optical packaging challenges and potential next-generation designs are presented.

متن کاملSilicon Photonics: A Review
Previously, researchers were trying to replace the copper wires with the optical technology. They used photons instead of electrons to carry out the data within machines. The future of IC industry depends upon the speed and bandwidth requirements, but in metallic interconnections we have constraints on speed as well as bandwidth. With the advancement in computer technology we are now more depen...
