Abstract

We discuss recent results in our work on Silicon Photonics. This includes both active and passive devices for a variety of applications. In particular we discuss work on wafer scale testing, modulators and drivers, device integration and mid-IR silicon photonics components. These devices are important both for established applications such as integrated transceivers for short reach interconnects, as well as emerging applications such as disposable sensors and mass market photonics.
