The growing demand for instant and reliable communication means
that photonic circuits are increasingly finding applications in
optical communications systems. One of the prime candidates to
provide satisfactory performance at low cost in the photonic
circuit is silicon. Whilst silicon photonics is less well
developed as compared to some other material technologies, it is
poised to make a serious impact on the telecommunications industry,
as well as in many other applications, as other technologies fail
to meet the yield/performance/cost trade-offs. Following a
sympathetic tutorial approach, this first book on silicon photonics
provides a comprehensive overview of the technology. Silicon
Photonics explains the concepts of the technology, taking the
reader through the introductory principles, on to more complex
building blocks of the optical circuit. Starting with the basics of
waveguides and the properties peculiar to silicon, the book also
features:
* Key design issues in optical circuits.
* Experimental methods.
* Evaluation techniques.
* Operation of waveguide based devices.
* Fabrication of silicon waveguide circuits.
* Evaluation of silicon photonic systems.
* Numerous worked examples, models and case studies.
Silicon Photonics is an essential tool for
photonics engineers and young professionals working in the optical
network, optical communications and semiconductor industries. This
book is also an invaluable reference and a potential main text to
senior undergraduates and postgraduate students studying fibre
optics, integrated optics, or optical network technology.

Autoren-Porträt von Graham T. Reed, Andrew Knights
Graham Reed is Professor of Optoelectronics at theUniversity of Surrey in the UK. He graduated in 1983 with a First
Class Honours degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering.
Subsequently he obtained a PhD in Integrated Optics in 1987. After
a brief period as leader of the Electro-Optics Systems Group at ERA
Technology Ltd, he joined the University of Surrey in 1989, where
he established the Silicon Photonics Group. As such this was one of
the pioneering groups in silicon photonics, and has made a
significant impact on the state of the art. The group is currently
the leading group in the UK In this field, and Professor Reed is
acknowledged as the individual who initiated research on silicon
photonic circuits and devices in the UK. The aim of the silicon
work has been to develop a technology that would have a variety of
applications, although telecommunications remains the dominant
application area. The work has been carried out with collaborators
from all around the world, both from academic and industrial
institutions. Professor Reed has published extensively in the
international scientific literature, has contributed p resentations
to numerous international conferences both as a submitting and an
invited speaker, and has served on a variety of international
committees.
Andrew P. Knights received his Ph.D. in 1994 in the area
of surface material characterisation with beams of low energy
positrons and electrons. His subsequent research took him first to
the University of Western Ontario where he performed
ground-breaking work on the generation and evolution of implant
induced defects in silicon, and then to the University of Surrey as
part of the EPSRC Icon Beam Centre, reaching novel fabrication
processes for micro and opto-electronic materials. In 2000 he
joined Bookham Technology and worked on a range of
silicon-based, highly integrated photonic devices. He played a
critical role in the development of the solid-state

optical variable attenuator (VOA); the multiplexer + VOA and the
monolithically integrated optical detector. In 2003 he moved to
McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, where he holds a faculty
position in the Department of Engineering Physics. He currently
leads a research group working on the interaction of optical
and electrical functionality in silicon-based structures. Dr.
Knights has published extensively on semiconductor device design,
fabrication and characterization and his work has been presented at
international conferences on numerous occasions.
