We present manufacturing tolerances of cascaded silicon microring resonators fabricated in a commercial 130-nm complementary-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) foundry using 193-nm lithography and provide… (More)
Recently Silicon Photonics has generated an outstanding interest for integrated optical communications. In this paper we describe a 300mm Silicon Photonics platform designed for 25Gb/s and above… (More)
We have developed a silicon photonics platform that allows monolithic integration with electronic circuits in a CMOS-compatible process. In this platform, vertical couplers are found to be a superior… (More)
We report the first sub-picojoule per bit (400fJ/bit) operation of a silicon modulator intimately integrated with a driver circuit and embedded in a clocked digital transmitter. We show a wall-plug… (More)
We report ultra-low-power (690fJ/bit) operation of an optical receiver consisting of a germanium-silicon waveguide detector intimately integrated with a receiver circuit and embedded in a clocked… (More)
We describe and demonstrate a new mechanism for low radiation losses in structures lacking a complete band gap, and show how resonant cavities with Q.10 can be achieved without sacrificing strong… (More)
Optical and electronic building blocks required for DWDM transceivers have been integrated in a 0.13 mum CMOS SOI technology. Using these building blocks, a 4 x 10-Gb/s single-chip DWDM… (More)
Using low parasitic microsolder bumping, we hybrid integrated efficient photonic devices from different platforms with advanced 40 nm CMOS VLSI circuits to build ultra-low power silicon photonic… (More)
diagram of symmetry requirements for waveguide crossing, showing waveguide mode profiles and resonant-cavity mode contours. By symmetry the solid-line modes cannot couple with the dashed-line modes… (More)
We report the first compact silicon CMOS 1x4 tunable multiplexer/ demultiplexer using cascaded silicon photonic ring-resonator based add/drop filters with a radius of 12 microm, and integrated… (More)
