An overview is presented of the current state‐of‐the‐art in silicon nanophotonic ring
resonators. Basic theory of ring resonators is discussed, and applied to the peculiarities of …

Optical technology is poised to revolutionize short-reach interconnects. The leading
candidate technology is silicon photonics, and the workhorse of such an interconnect is the …

To keep pace with the demands in optical communications, electro-optic modulators should
feature large bandwidths, operate across all telecommunication windows, offer a small …

We present a high-speed silicon optical modulator with a low V_pp (peak-to-peak driving
voltage) and ultralow energy consumption based on a microring resonator, with the …

We present thermally tunable silicon racetrack resonators with an ultralow tuning power of
2.4 mW per free spectral range. The use of free-standing silicon racetrack resonators with …

In this Letter, we propose and demonstrate a high-speed and power-efficient thermo-optic
switch using an adiabatic bend with a directly integrated silicon heater to minimize the heat …

We demonstrate a single-drive push-pull silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) with a π-
phase-shift voltage of 3.1 V and speed up to 30 Gb/s. The on-chip insertion loss is 9 dB due …

We present a compact 1.3× 4 μm^ 2 Germanium waveguide photodiode, integrated in a
CMOS compatible silicon photonics process flow. This photodiode has a best-in-class 3 dB …

Silicon photonics will provide low-cost, high-bandwidth and compact optical components for
a wide range of applications in optical communications and interconnects. One of the cited …

Silicon photonics leverages the optical, electrical and material properties of silicon and the
mature complementary metal‐oxide semiconductor (CMOS) nanofabrication technique to …
