Abstract :
In this talk, silicon photonics is introduced together with its opportunities in producing highly efficient optical interconnects. An overview of recent advancements in the building block component development and the integration of these components both with each other and electronic devices to form functional photonic circuits is given.The paper then presents some of the remaining challenges for silicon photonics researchers worldwide and some approaches which can answer these needs.
