Contents:
Cover; Wiley Series in Materials for Electronic and Optoelectronic Applications; Title Page; Copyright; Dedication; Series Preface; Preface; Chapter 1: Introduction to Silicon Photonics; 1.1 Introduction; 1.2 VLSI: Past, Present, and Future Roadmap; 1.3 The Interconnect Problem in VLSI; 1.4 The Long-Haul Optical Communication Link; 1.5 Data Network; 1.6 Conclusions; 1.7 Scope of the Book; Chapter 2: Basic Properties of Silicon; 2.1 Introduction; 2.2 Band Structure; 2.3 Density-of-States Function; 2.4 Impurities; 2.5 Alloys of Silicon and Other Group IV Elements.
Summary: The creation of affordable high speed optical communications using standard semiconductor manufacturing technology is a principal aim of silicon photonics research. This would involve replacing copper connections with optical fibres or waveguides, and electrons with photons. With applications such as telecommunications and information processing, light detection, spectroscopy, holography and robotics, silicon photonics has the potential to revolutionise electronic-only systems. Providing an overview of the physics, technology and device operation of photonic devices using exclusively silicon.
