For decades, silicon technologies have been the centre of academic and industrial research; nowadays silicon device processing is well established and offers a number of advantages - with respect to other semiconductor technologies - such as being lower-cost, higher-yield and very robust. Silicon photonics studies the generation, modulation, processing, and detection of light in silicon, aiming to exploit its maturity in photonics as well as optoelectronics. Such manipulation of light in silicon is paramount to achieve fully integrated photonic circuit where sources, waveguides, and sensors are all combined in a single chip.
This Collection bring together original research articles in the topic of silicon photonics, looking at latest technology developments as well as their use in timely applications in natural science.
