Silicon photonics has experienced phenomenal transformations over the last decade. In this
paper, we present some of the notable advances in silicon-based passive and active optical …

Silicon photonics is no longer an emerging field of research and technology but a present
reality with commercial products available on the market, where low‐dimensional silicon …

We demonstrate for the first time a fully integrated electro-optic modulator based on locally
strained silicon rib-waveguides. By depositing a Si_3N_4 strain layer directly on top of the …

Bragg reflectors (BRFs) are essential elements in optical telecommunication and sensing
applications. Their miniaturization down to the sub-micron scale has been achieved in …

Silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc) is an enabling material for silicon photonics, which is no longer
an emerging field of research but an available technology with the first commercial products …

We present detailed investigations of the local strain distribution and the induced second-
order optical nonlinearity within strained silicon waveguides cladded with a Si_3N_4 strain …

A review of recent progress in the field of strained silicon photonics is presented. The
application of strain to waveguide and photonic crystal structures can be used to alter the …

Using analysis and numerical simulation, we have investigated near-infrared and mid-
infrared second-harmonic generation (SHG) and sum frequency generation (SFG) in crystal …
