Abstract
Silicon is evolving as a versatile photonics platform with multiple
functionalities that can be seamlessly integrated. The toolbox is
rich, starting from the ability to guide and switch multiple wavelength
sources at gigahertz bandwidths, to optomechanical MEMS and opto-fluidics
devices. Some of the challenges in the field of silicon photonics
are discussed; among them are the decrease of losses in silicon waveguides
and the integration of silicon photonics with current CMOS microelectronics.
