  • Abstract
    Silicon photonics has produced the first all-optical components intergrated into systems available already on the market. Nanosilicon, where low dimensional silicon allows new phenomena and devices, is a way to expand the reach of silicon photonics. In this article we review some of our past research activities focused on the demonstration of innovative photonic integrated circuits building blocks.
