Call for papers: Announcing an issue of the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics on silicon photonics

The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) invites manuscript submissions in the area of Silicon Photonics. Silicon photonics has been the subject of intense research activity in both industry and academia as a compelling technology paving the way for next generation energy-efficient high-speed computing, information processing and communications systems. The trend is to use optics in intimate proximity to electronic circuits, which implies a high level of optoelectronic integration. This evolution towards silicon-based technologies is largely based on the vision that silicon provides a mature integration platform supported by the enormous existing CMOS manufacturing infrastructure which can be used to cost-effectively produce integrated optoelectronic circuits for a wide range of applications. The deadline for submission of manuscripts is October 1, 2013.
