  • Abstract
    The present paper reviews the current status of light emission and detection for Si Photonics. To control the initial and final stages, strain engineering of bandgap and resonator structures are indispensable for light emission. A new non-thermal approach to reduce reverse leakage current is proposed controlling the electric field strength. These together with modulation reported recently on Ge platform clearly indicates that Ge is one of the most important materials as far as active components are concerned.
