Silicon Photonics Research in Trento: an Integrated Approach

摘要

Silicon microphotonics, a technology which merges photonics and silicon microelectronic components, is rapidly evolving. As a sample of the research carried out in Trento on monolithically integrated photonics based on silicon, we present two studies, time resolved optical gain in silicon nanocrystals and light modulation in optical microcavities infiltrated with liquid crystals.
