Graphene is an ideal material for optoelectronic applications. Its photonic properties give
several advantages and complementarities over Si photonics. For example, graphene …

Optical technology is poised to revolutionize short-reach interconnects. The leading
candidate technology is silicon photonics, and the workhorse of such an interconnect is the …

In this paper, we present a brief history of silicon photonics from the early research papers in
the late 1980s and early 1990s, to the potentially revolutionary technology that exists today …

After dominating the electronics industry for decades, silicon is on the verge of becoming the
material of choice for the photonics industry: the traditional stronghold of III-V …

The growing demand for instant and reliable communication means that photonic circuits
are increasingly finding applications in optical communications systems. One of the prime …

Electrical interconnects are becoming a bottleneck in the way towards meeting future
performance requirements of integrated circuits. Moore's law, which observes the doubling …

Ever since the earliest research on optical circuits, dating back to the 1970s, there have
been visions of an optical superchip (see for example, containing a variety of integrated …

The realisation of a low-loss, highly efficient, singlemode optical phase modulator in SOI is
reported. At a wavelength of 1.5 µm the figure of merit for the device, the induced phase shift …

We analyze, from a theoretical point of view, a novel silicon optical amplitude-phase
modulator integrated into a SOI (silicon on insulator) optical waveguide and based on a …

This paper reports the simulation of the direct current (dc), transient, and optical
characteristics of low-loss single-mode optical phase modulators based on silicon-on …
