Abstract :
The silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform allows to make ultra-compact photonic integrated circuits by means of standard processes used for silicon CMOS. Basic properties of SOI waveguides and the coupling to fiber are briefly discussed. Afterwards, various WDM-components (filters and demultiplexers) based on high-contrast nanophotonic waveguides in SOI are reported.
