Nanostructured Silicon for Photonics
Subtitle:
- from Materials to Devices -
Description:
The use of light to channel signals around electronic chips could solve several current problems in microelectronic evolution including: power dissipation, interconnect bottlenecks, input/output from/to optical communication channels, poor signal bandwidth, etc. It is unfortunate that silicon is not a good photonic material: it has a poor light-emission efficiency and exhibits a negligible electro-optical effect. Silicon photonics is a field having the objective of improving the physical properties of silicon; thus turning it into a photonic material and permitting the full convergence of electronics and photonics.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
This work describes recent research on improving the physical properties of silicon and the use of nano-sized silicon. After an introduction on photonics and the measurement of light, chapters cover silicon nanocrystal fundamentals, nanoprobe techniques for characterizing silicon materials, silicon-based light-emitting diodes, optical gain in silicon and the quest for a silicon laser, design of silicon-based optical components, Si-based waveguides, silicon-based photonic crystals, and silicon-based complex dielectric systems. B&w images are included. There is no subject index.
