Silicon PhotonicsFundamentals and Devices\nAuthor(s): M. Jamal Deen, Prasanta Kumar Basu\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9780470517505, 978-0470517505\nSynopsis\nThe creation of affordable high speed optical communications using standard semiconductor manufacturing technology is a principal aim of silicon photonics research. This would involve replacing copper connections with optical fibres or waveguides, and electrons with photons. With applications such as telecommunications and information processing, light detection, spectroscopy, holography and robotics, silicon photonics has the potential to revolutionise electronic-only systems. Providing an overview of the physics, technology and device operation of photonic devices using exclusively silicon and related alloys, the book includes:\n\nBasic Properties of Silicon\nQuantum Wells, Wires, Dots and Superlattices\nAbsorption Processes in Semiconduct.
