Abstract

Silicon photonics has generated an outstanding interest for optical communications in electronic systems. This papers reviews recent results of advanced high performance generic building blocks that can be used for a broad range of applications requiring up to 40Gb/s. Described building blocks are waveguides, laser sources by III-V/Si heterogeneous integration, fast silicon modulators and germanium photodetectors.
