Micro/nano scale silicon based photonic devices

Recent progresses in silicon-based micro/nano photonic devices and optoelectronic integration are summarized, including Si-based light sources, waveguide devices, modulators, detectors and integration attempts. Surface plasmons, photonic crystals and other methods to realize these devices are described. The potential and possibility to realize all-silicon devices and monolithic integration or make the fabrication compatible with standard CMOS process are presented and discussed, and their applications in high density data communications are emphasized.
