Abstract :
This short course discusses both fundamentals and applications of silicon photonics. Silicon photonics is rapidly emerging as an attractive platform for realizing cheaper photonic integrated circuits. Active optical cables based on silicon photonics are now already being employed in some of the highest performance supercomputers and several major semiconductor companies have announced activities in this domain.
