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.
