Silicon Photonics III: Systems and Applications [Paperback]

This book is volume III of a series of books on silicon photonics. It reports on the development of fully integrated systems where many different photonics component are integrated together to build complex circuits. This is the demonstration of the fully potentiality of silicon photonics. It contains a number of chapters written by engineers and scientists of the main companies, research centers and universities active in the field. It can be of use for all those persons interested to know the potentialities and the recent applications of silicon photonics both in microelectronics, telecommunication and consumer electronics market.yet to followPreface.- A nanophotonic interconnect for high-performance many-core computation.- 200 Gps photonic integrated chip on a silicon platform.- LSI on-chip optical interconnection with silicon nanophotonics.- CMOS Photonics: A Platform for Advanced Optoelectronic Integration.- Silicon based optoelectronics.- Silicon photonics WDM network for multi-chip processor interconnects.- Silicon Photonics: the system on chip perspective.- Silicon photonics for metro/access networks.- Silicon photonics for optical communications.- Silicon photonics for the aerospace industry.

David J. Lockwood earned BSc (1964), MSc (1966), and PhD (1969) degrees in physics at the University of Canterbury and was awarded a DSc in 2000. His doctoral research work was on inelastic light (Raman) scattering from insulators under Professor Alister G. McLellan. He spent 1970-71 as a post-doctoral fellow in physical chemistry with Professor Donald E. Irish at the University of Waterloo working on the vibrational spectroscopy of solvated cations. Dr. Lockwood then moved to Edinburgh University as a research fellow in the group of Professor William Cochran and spent six years there researching the dynamical properties of structural phase transitions and antiferromagnets. As a result of these studies he was awl#K
