Abstract :
This paper discusses the state of the art as well as the approach for light coupling, switching and modulating on Si. These results are based on sub-micron highly confined structures. It is primarily this principle, of manipulating light by confinement, that has enabled light control and coupling on silicon using ultra-compact structures.
