The integration of complex oxides on silicon presents opportunities to extend and enhance
silicon technology with novel electronic, magnetic, and photonic properties. Among these …

This paper provides a review of the recent developments of self-organized In (Ga) As/Ga (Al)
As quantum dot lasers grown directly on Si, as well as their on-chip integration with Si …

Amorphous silicon waveguides were obtained by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour
deposition and anisotropic plasma etching. Rectangular multimode waveguides as well as …

Although silicon does not possess a dipolar bulk second order nonlinear susceptibility due
to its centro-symmetric crystal structure, in recent years several attempts were undertaken to …

Silicon fibers are fabricated using a high pressure chemical deposition technique to deposit
the semiconductor material inside a silica capillary. The silicon is deposited in an …

The nonlinear properties of a low loss hydrogenated amorphous silicon core fiber have
been characterized for transmission of high power pulses at 1540nm. Numerical modelling …

We present the first measurements of optical nonlinearity due to free carrier effects in
amorphous silicon films using z-scan technique, demonstrating enhanced nonlinearity due …

Silicon photonics is a new emerging and disruptive technology aimed at using cost-effective
silicon-based materials for the generation, control, and detection of modulated light signals …

The paper presents an analysis of thermo-optic phase shifters in silicon-on-insulator (SOI)
waveguide structures. It gives recommendations to provide high tuning characteristics at …

We demonstrate horizontal slot waveguides using high-index layers of polycrystalline and
single crystalline silicon separated by a 10 nm layer of silicon dioxide. We measure …
